Oroville (pop: 13,000) is the county seat of Butte County, California and is one of the faster growing towns in California. This town sits on the banks of the Feather River as it flows out of the Sierra Nevada onto the flat floor of the California Central Valley. It provides navigation on the Feather River to supply gold miners during the California Gold Rush.
