The Rockville Centre Historical Society is working with the Herald to provide some of the history of the Village of Rockville Centre. Over the coming months, we will share stories and photos of turn-of-the-century buildings, homes and important village milestones and people. We thought that a good place to start would be to recall how Rockville Centre got its name.

Have you ever wondered when the village of Rockville Centre was founded? Or who its original inhabitants were? Or how it got its name? We have the answers! We would like to introduce — or for many, we hope, reintroduce — the Rockville Centre Historical Society and the Phillips House Museum.
