One of Maryland’s oldest towns dating to Colonial America, Rockville gets its name from the nearby Rock Creek. These humble, small town beginnings are still intact today, but Rockville has grown to become home to some of the nation’s and the world’s most prominent bio-med and technology companies. It is at the center of the Interstate 270 Technology Corridor, home to software and biotech companies, and several federal government institutions such as the Center of U.S. Public Health Service and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s headquarters are just outside the city. With a booming commercial town center, vibrant suburban life, and investment in America’s technological future, Rockville is ready to hold onto tradition and keep growing.
