Click Here to Make an Appointment! Welcome to Roscoe & Rockton, IL View Roscoe & Rockton Homes Below Roscoe
was first settled along the Rock River in 1835, and
named for one of its early settlers. As Roscoe grew it became a stagecoach stop
for travelers heading west. Rockton
is the kind of Village that people fall in love
with. Rockton is a treasure nestled on the northern edge of Winnebago County.
It is history, with a future. Whether you come because of the schools, the
culture, the countryside, the business opportunities, or just to be a part of
its small town charm, Rockton offers a million reasons to stay. Rockton is a true Midwestern village where community and quality of life are values that are revealed in every street and sidewalk. Beginning in the historic downtown shopping center and moving out to its farm-cushioned edge, Rockton is unique--a place that its citizens are proud to call home. On a forested bluff overlooking the Rock and Pecatonica Rivers in Rockton are the remnants of Winnebago County's earliest settlement. It was founded in 1829 by Stephen Andrew Mack, Jr., and his wife, Hononegah. Macktown, then known as Pekatonic, represents a time and place of change on the Illinois frontier when the fur trade collided with a progressive world.
In prosperous times, Pekatonic boasted of the Mack's two-story home and store, a furniture store, a school room, a shoemaker's shop, a tavern, a trading post, fur trapper's cabins, and other homes belonging to the population of 300. A ferry and bridge traversed the Rock River.
Following Mack's death in 1850 and the destruction of the bridge in 1851, the Macktown settlement area failed to thrive. The northern part of the settlement prospered and officially became known as Rockton in 1844.

By the first decade of the 20th Century, Roscoe continued its growth along the
interurban railroad, with daily service being supplied by the Rockford, Beloit &
Janesville Railway. The advent of the automobile eventually forced the
interurban out of business, with the last car passing through Roscoe in October,
1930.
