About Rockford
Rockford is an unincorporated community in Gage County, about 8 miles east of Beatrice in Rockford Township. Rockford Lake State Recreation Area is about 2 miles to the southeast.
History
Rockford Township was settled in 1858; William Girl is credited as its founder, and the name comes from rock quarries near Mud Creek. Rockford had no post office of its own in the 1880s, when the township's mail came through Holmesville. Work on Rockford Lake began in 1964 under the federal small-watershed program, and the state recreation area opened in 1970.
