Rosewood is a fictional town in Pennsylvania that serves as the main setting for the Pretty Little Liars book series and television adaptation. The town is suggested to be loosely based on real-life Rosemont, Pennsylvania.[1]

History

[edit]

In print

[edit]

Rosewood was founded by William W. Rosewood[2] and, as a Main Line town, has a long history of prestige associated with the railroad industry of the 1800s.[1] The majority of its residents are upper-class Americans, and many families,[3] such as the Hastings, have had significant wealth dating back to that decade. Rosewood consists of farms, cornfields, pastures, and barns that have since been converted into apartments and other buildings.

Several homes of the franchise's characters are located near forested areas. Emily's backyard is bordered by the woods, Spencer and Alison's neighborhood is surrounded by a small forest, and the Kahns' vast property is also bordered by a forest. However, the protagonists appear to live in very different sections of the suburb. Though it is strongly leaning towards the rural end, Rosewood appears to be a fairly large town. The town also has an upscale shopping mall called the King James Mall.

On screen

[edit]

Rosewood is located about 20 miles outside Philadelphia and is also the fictitious Ravenswood from the sequel television series of the same name. A mental institution, Radley Sanitarium, was located East of Rosewood in Darkette County. The city has its own printed newspaper, The Rosewood Observer.[4][5][6] The Apple Rose Grille restaurant is a redesigned set of Luke's Diner, a location of the WB series Gilmore Girls.[7] The current population is of 7,989 inhabitants.[citation needed]

Most of the scenes in the television series are shot using the exteriors of the Warner Bros. studio backlot in Burbank, while the interior scenes were filmed separately on nearby sound stages.[8]
