Looking for homes for sale in Rockford Michigan

Initially inhabited by the Hopewell, Mascouten, and Ottawa tribes, modern Rockford got its start in 1843 with a dam and a sawmill built by William Hunter. By 1856 it was called Laphamville. Later, the railroad company suggested they choose a shorter name and “Rockford” was chosen in 1866. With a lovely dining and shopping district on the banks of the Rogue River, Picturesque Rockford enjoys the refreshing ambiance of an engaging small town. You’ll love a brisk walk over the Rockford Dam after lunching riverside. With lush woodlands and water, Rockford continues to be a desirable area to live. Schools: Rockford Public Schools.
