Located in the central region of Montgomery County currently, Rockville even as far as 8000 B.C was conveniently located in the Piedmont region and provided refuge to semi-nomadic people of the area. Thanks to prehistoric sites discovered within the city, much of their early history was revealed after documents and artifacts that dated several thousands of years back were found. Later on, these communities settled in the region as they were agricultural and depended on the area for the native foliage. After 1200 A.D, these tribes remained in constant conflict with groups known as Susquehannocks and Senecas who were immigrants that had traveled from the Pennsylvania and New York areas. However, after the arrival of the Europeans in the year 1700 most of the Native Americans had been driven out of the region. Between the years 1717 and 1735, Arthur Nelson was one of the first people to acquire land patents in the region. Almost 30 years later there would be a building built where in the future the area would be the central region of Rockville. At the time the city was a part of Prince George’s County, however, as Frederick Town grew, the western region including Rockville separated and became a part of Frederick County in 1748. The city is known by several names such as Owen's Ordinary, Hungerford's Tavern, and Daley's Tavern. Over time as the region prospered and thrived and became the largest and most populous county in Maryland because of which the Maryland Constitutional Convention on September 6, 1977, decided to divide it further into 3 sections. The southern part which included Rockville was named Montgomery County. Still lacking a proper name and only known as Hungerford’s Tavern still, the village became known as Montgomery Courthouse after it was chosen as a county seat. The village was finally organized by a surveyor hired by William Prather Williams in 1784 due to which it now became known as Williamsburg as well as Montgomery Court House. The city thrived and prospered further in the 19th century with the arrival of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad because now it was easily accessible from Washington, D.C. in addition to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) beginning work on the Rockville and Twinbrook Station.

The city has much to offer to outdoor enthusiasts. Many parks and recreational facilities are spread throughout the city. Rockville is known to host many seasonal events as well such as Independence Day and New Year Celebrations. All this makes buying land in Rockville, Maryland an attractive buy.

If historical architecture is your thing, visiting the Potowack Canal is a must. It was originally planned by Goerge Washington and aimed to provide access to the Potowack River. However, construction didn’t begin until the 1700s and now it includes 5 canals between Maryland and Virginia.

Although the city has numerous sprawling parks and gardens, a visit to the 2000 acres of Rock Creek Regional Park is a great way to enjoy the natural beauty of Rockville. The city is not short of locations that provide various leisure activities such as hiking, fishing, picnic areas, and even a nature center.
