Rockville MD Area Guide

Rockville is a community-oriented town rich in parks and events designed to bring the population together. Rockville is one of Maryland’s oldest towns, dating back to Colonial America. The town was named because of its close approximation to Rock Creek and became incorporated in 1860. In 1873 both the metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad came to Rockville, and frequent trains started going to and from Washington and the brand new B & O station each day.

Rockville has 65 different parks to offer with different equipment at each ranging from park shelters, picnic tables, grills, fountains, playground equipment, sports and parking.
