A favorite part of Rockville is Shenipsit Lake, or as the locals call it "The Snip," which is surrounded by Native American trails.
Rockville is located in Tolland County, Connecticut. It is a quaint community of a little more than 7,400 residents, and is part of the larger town of Vernon. It got its name in 1837 as the mail service needed a place to deliver parcels. Since it was known for its rock mill, the name Rockville was chosen because of the common term visitors used called "Going to the Rock." And therefore Rockville was born! Much of Rockville is part of the Rockville Historic District, reflecting the town's historic roots of mills, farms and villages. Located in the Northeastern part of Connecticut, Tolland county sits on the outskirts of Hartford, the State Capitol, and is not far from another major city, Springfield, Massachusetts. Rockville combines the charm of a small town while being just a short drive from two major New England cities, so there is truly something for everyone! View Rockville City Guide
