The City of Rockford was originally incorporated to protect the area and its businesses from possible annexation by nearby municipalities. Since that time, it has evolved into a community where quality services, not growth, have become the special focus. With an industrial park, rural area, and several residential subdivisions, it has a full range of possibilities within a small area.
