Miscellaneous References and Mentions

While our initial information about Rockford came from various goverment sources (GNIS, FIPS), we also found mention of Rockford in various books, maps and other sources.

We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Rockford. We hope that they will be useful to you.

Note: When we started collecting data about Rockford, we were inconsistent about keeping track of where that data came from. As a result, this list of references and mentions is probably incomplete.
