Assuming you mean what is usually called the Rosetta Stone (note the spelling) which was instrumental in advancing modern understanding of hieroglyphic writing, it was found in near the Egyptian port city of Rosetta (Arabic: رشيد‎, Rashi) in 1799.

The name, Rosetta, is the name by which it was referred to by the French during Napoleon Bonaparte's campaign in Egypt.
