Ramirez Street is a public street in Marysville that runs between Simpson Lane and East 24th Street. It is named for José Manuel Ramirez.

From south to north, significant places on Ramirez Street include Yuba Square Park and Marysville Care and Rehabilitation Center.

In 1905, botanist Amos Arthur Heller collected samples of arroyo willows,¹ cowbag clovers,² miniature lupines,³butter 'n' eggs,⁴ California water starwort,⁵ common peppergrass,⁶ and foothill plantains⁷ at what is now the intersection of Ramirez Street and East 13th Street in Marysville, creating a valuable historic record of the native plants that grew in the area. Few of these plants can be seen in Marysville today.

Additionally, in 1930, botanist Alice Eastwood collected samples of native narrowleaf onions slightly northeast of Heller's collection site, in the area that is now bounded on the north and south by East 15th and East 14th Streets and on the east and west by Buchanan and Freeman Streets.⁸
