Rockville, a hamlet in the southeastern part of Miami county, was settled by a pro-slavery man named Rockwell and named in his honor, but when the free-state settlers became numerous the name was changed to Rockville. A school house was built on the town site in 1858 and a store opened in 1859, making this settlement one of the oldest in the county. In 1859 a postoffice was established, but a few years ago it was discontinued, mail being delivered by rural carrier from Fontana.
