ROCKVILLE’S HISTORY
Now a diverse and busy metropolitan city, Rockville grew from a mid-1700s crossroads settlement midway between Georgetown and Frederick.
In 1776, this crossroads community was chosen as the seat for the newly formed Montgomery County. Nearly 250 years later, the City of Rockville retains a rich historical character and a thriving modern identity.
We invite you to explore the city and its many historical sites to learn about its heritage and growth.
