Cities • Towns • Villages • Communities
Rockville was first settled in 1717. On September 6, 1776 Montgomery County was created with George Town as the county seat. Being to far south and being ceded to the District of Columbia, George Town was impractical as county seat.
Rockville did not have a name so locals called it Hungerford’s Tavern after a local tavern. The village was referred to by all as Montgomery Court House. The tavern served as the county courthouse, and it held its first such proceedings on May 20, 1777.
On July 16, 1803, the area was officially entered into the county land records with the name “Rockville,” which was derived from a local creek name Rock Creek.
From that humble beginning, Rockville, along with neighboring Gaithersburg and Bethesda, is at the core of global commerce with the development of Interstate 270 Technology Corridor. This corridor is home to numerous software and biotechnology companies as well as several federal government institutions.
