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.
