History

Rockford is the quintessential Midwestern city. Located in Northern Illinois, just south of Wisconsin and halfway between Chicago and Galena, it has all the amenities and culture of a big city with the feel of a small town. The city grew up on both banks of the Rock River, and may have gotten its name from the excellent ford used to cross the Rock River. Rockford was settled in the 1830s and chartered as a city in 1852. The city has four distinct and beautiful seasons. Manufacturing remains Rockford's biggest industry, even though in recent years there has been a shift toward technology and tourism. A comprehensive highway system and central location makes Rockford easily accessible to visitors. The Rockford Art Museum, Burpee Museum of Natural History, Klehm Arboretum and Botanic Garden, as well as its excellent dining and shopping make Rockford a popular destination. The Rockford Public Library main branch is housed in a beautiful historic building perched on the western bank of the Rock River in the downtown area. The Rockford Park District offers a wide array of programs and facilities, making recreation affordable and accessible to all of its residents.
