and home to Oroville Dam and Oroville Lake which is part of the state water
system. Oroville news can be obtained at the
Mercury Register newspaper

"ridge" community in Butte County. Once known as a sleepy senior oriented
town it has not escaped the same rapid growth
that the rest of Butte County has seen in recent years. Paradise news can be found at
