Crossed by Rock Creek, Cabin John Creek and Watts Branch, the Rockville area drew seasonally moving Native communities as early as 8000 BC, and by the first millennium BC some groups had year-round villages growing sunflowers and marsh elder. Late Woodland people that archaeologists call the Montgomery Complex lived in the central Potomac region and by about AD 1200 came into conflict with the Seneca and Susquehannock moving south. Six prehistoric sites have been found within the city, and by 1700 most of the original inhabitants had been driven out by colonists.
A Native trail along the high ground, the Sinequa Trail, ran through what is now downtown and became the Rock Creek Main Road, or Great Road, later Rockville Pike, one of the colony's largest roads, from Georgetown to Frederick Town. Arthur Nelson obtained the first land patents in the area between 1717 and 1735, and the western part of Prince George's County, including Rockville, became part of Frederick County in 1748. In the mid-18th century Lawrence Owen opened an inn on the road known as Owen's Ordinary, and the small town was also called Hungerford's Tavern and Daley's Tavern. The first recorded mention of the settlement came on April 14, 1755, when General Edward Braddock's army of about 2,000 stopped there on its march west, and one soldier noted the "Single House, it being 18 miles and very dirty." On September 6, 1776, the Maryland Constitutional Convention adopted Thomas Sprigg Wootton's proposal to divide Frederick County, creating Montgomery County with Rockville as its seat.
