Located approximately 16 miles south of the City of Spokane Valley on State Highway 27, the Town of Rockford is a service center for the many farms and agricultural lands that surround it.  Cenex Harvest States, a farmer owned cooperative is currently the Town's largest employer.

Originally named "Farnsworth", the Town was founded in 1877 by Dewitt Clinton, John Farnsworth and Albert M. Worley, early pioneers who constructed a sawmill at the junction of Rock and Mica Creeks.  The Town was renamed in 1880 in reference to the large "rocky ford" in Rock Creek and was officially incorporated as the Town of Rockford in 1890.  Rockford is currently home to approximately 504+ residents, 50 % of whom are considered low income.

The Town of Rockford has participated in the Spokane County Urban County Consortium since its inception in 1988, and in that time has successfully completed 13 projects with the assistance of approximately $1,032,010 in CDBG funds.
