Living in Rocky River, OH
One of the first mentions of Rocky River in history is from 1764, when a British officer documented his travels from Fort Niagara, N.Y., to Detroit, Mich. It wasn’t until 1807 that the area was founded as Rockford Township and began to develop farms and fruit orchards. Industrial workers from Cleveland soon sought out the area for relaxation and recreation, and the construction of an electric streetcar toward the end of the 19th century made it possible for people to move there and commute to Cleveland for work. Rocky River was incorporated as a village in 1903.
Today, people still enjoy making their home in Rocky River. It is a tight-knit community, with many family events. The Rocky River Civic Center offers an ice rink, adult fitness classes and children’s sports leagues.
