Rockford

Rockford, Illinois, holds a storied past dating back to its early settlement in the 1830s, when Germanicus Kent and Thatcher Blake founded the town along the Rock River. As a manufacturing hub in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Rockford earned the nickname "The Forest City" for its thriving furniture and machinery industries. Notably, Rockford was the site of the Camp Grant Riots in 1919, a significant event in the struggle for civil rights and racial equality in the United States.
