Rockville

Located 12 miles northwest of the Nation's Capital, Rockville occupies 13.03 square miles. A major portion of the prestigious I-270 Technology Corridor is within the city's corporate limits.

Rockville is the second largest city in Maryland and boasts a population of approximately 47,000. With 54,500 jobs, the city is also an employment center.

In the late 1800s, Rockville was a suburban resort for Washingtonians who sought to escape the confines of the Nation's Capital. The city remained much like a small, quiet town until the 1950s. The post - World War II baby boom raised the population of Rockville from less than 5,000 in 1950 to more than 40,000 by 1970. Rockville grew physically by annexation of land, and developers planned new neighborhoods to meet the needs of the population. Old commercial areas in the town center were torn down and completely redeveloped. Today, Rockville is a four-time All-America City winner. In 2006, Money Magazine ranked Rockville No. 26 in its 2006 list of "Best Places to Live in the United States."
