Discover Rockford
Burial mounds 500 to 1,500 years old show early Native settlement at Rockford, and an old trail runs beneath the Bridge Street Bridge on the Hennepin County side. The area was a natural borderland between the Ojibwe and Dakota, both of whom hunted and wintered there, though it was used mainly by the Dakota, and there was an Ojibwe village near present Dayton on the Crow River. As settlement spread in Wisconsin, the Ho-Chunk were pushed west and forced to resettle near Rockford. A reservation was proposed there, but objections were raised to having one so close to fast-growing Minneapolis.
More about Rockford
After the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux of 1851 the land was opened to white settlers, and once surveying was completed in 1854, homesteaders could buy plots. In 1855 the brothers-in-law George F. Ames and Joel Florida of Illinois came up the Crow River with the carpenter Guildford D. George to start a mill town, and Rockford came to have lumber, flour and saw mills. In 1859 the first U.S. troops called to Minnesota were sent to Rockford in response to rioting known as the Wright County War. A stockade was built in town during the Dakota War of 1862 and again in 1863. Rockford was incorporated in 1881, and a railroad through the town was completed in 1886. The Crow River forms at Rockford where its branches meet. Sources Wikipedia: Rockford, Minnesota
