The History of North Rose Hill: From Farmland to a Flourishing Suburb

BridleTrailsStatePark

North Rose Hill, part of the broader Rose Hill area, has ties to Kirkland's founder, Peter Kirk, who initially envisioned a steel mill nearby in the late 1800s. Though that changed, partners Edmund Burke and Guy Farrar acquired much of Rose Hill in 1910. Once characterized by small family farms, North Rose Hill developed into a suburban community and was primarily annexed into Kirkland in 1988.
