Rockford was incorporated as a village in 1839 and chartered as a city in 1852.
After the Black Hawk War of 1832, the area was settled on the banks of the Rock River in what is now the City of Rockford. Located halfway between Chicago and Galena, this early settlement was known as "Midway Village" but was soon changed to Rockford, after the ford that existed across the Rock River. The river played a major role in the development of the region, serving as a major source of power. [1]
