Historic Map - Rockville, CT - 1895
Description
Rockville, Connecticut, 1895.
A print reproduction of Rockville, CT, drawn and published by O. H. Bailey & Co. in 1895. Although the Hockanum River had been used by farmers for a grist mill, a saw mill, an oil mill and distillery since around 1740, it was not until 1821 that the first textile mill was built, in what would become Rockville, by Colonel Francis McLean. Taking advantage of a natural dam of solid stone that made a high falls on the Hockanum River, known as "The Rock" by locals, McLean built his water powered mill called the McLean Woolen Factory, also known as the "Rock Mill".
Work in the mills brought many immigrants to Rockville, particularly during the Civil War expansion period, 1860-1875, when many German immigrants arrived and new businesses catering to the German community opened along Village Street.
Today, most of the city has been designated as the Rockville Historic District.
