Mayor’s Welcome to the Village of Rockford

Welcome,    

As Mayor, on behalf of the Council of the Village of Rockford, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website. I trust you will find it both interesting and informative.

Established as Shanes Crossing in 1820 and incorporated as Shanesville in 1866 at the historic St. Marys River Crossing, our name was changed to Rockford in 1890, we are the oldest incorporated village in Mercer County.

Our community boasts a growing business district, fine schools, park facilities, historical museum, and a Carnegie Library. We take great pride in our public service to our community and we strive to promote Rockford while working hard for the betterment of people who live and work here. We are working with our department heads and employees to meet the needs of our community, both now and in the future.

One of Rockford’s greatest assets is its people. There is a true sense of community in our Village. We work closely with our residents, businesses, and community organizations to promote the many services, activities, and benefits of Rockford.
