Fact text

  • Rockville has gone by at least four completely different names, including 'Owen's Ordinary,' 'Hungerford's Tavern,' and 'Williamsburg,' before finally settling on Rockville.
  • The name 'Rockville' itself only became official on July 16, 1803, derived from nearby Rock Creek, and even then, old maps kept calling it Montgomery Court House well into the 1820s.
  • Rockville once had trolley service all the way to downtown Washington D.C., but the car boom killed it off in 1935 after four decades of clanging along.
  • During the Cold War, Rockville was considered a safer bet than evacuating, essentially making it an official government-approved place to wait out a nuclear attack.
