More About the Demographics of Rockford, Illinois
Located just at the center of the northern border of Illinois in south Winnebago County, Rockford is a combination of small town atmosphere and large city amenities. With a population just over 295,000, it is large enough to have various opportunities for employment along with cultural events and a thriving medical industry. Although Rockford rivals Peoria for the second largest city in Illinois, it still has a classic smaller town feel and retains its beauty, thus the name “City of Gardens”.
Brief History Of Rockford
Rockford was first settled in 1834, first adeptly called Midway, as it is located halfway between Chicago and Galena. However, as the settlement was on the Rock River and it was a natural ford, Rockford soon became the name that stuck. The town was originally home to many elm trees and also gained the nickname “Forest City” although the Dutch elm disease all but wiped out the population of elm trees in the mid 1900’s.
The town grew into an industrial city over the next 150 years, starting with furniture in the late 1800’s, becoming one of the largest furniture manufacturing centers in the U.S. After the world wars, furniture began to dwindle and tools, automotive and other machinery production took its place.
Today, although there is still manufacturing, Rockford is the regional hub for medical facilities and shopping. It also boasts many events at its MetroCentre and was named “Sportstown USA” for the state of Illinois. With its 7,000 acres of parks and tree-lined streets, it still retains the look of a “Forest City”.
