About Rockford, Michigan

Rockford, Michigan is set on the Rogue River and was settled in 1843 as a mill town. It is now corporate headquarters to Wolverine World Wide, which includes such companies as Coleman, Hush Puppies and Wolverine Wilderness. Rockford is located ten miles northeast of Grand Rapids and known for its scenic riverfront, energetic downtown, prosperous businesses, award-winning school system, and charming, connected neighborhoods. Shoppers enjoy the downtown Rockford Squires Street Square.

Recreational opportunities thrive in Rockford. The chance to fish for steelhead and salmon at the Rockford Dam on the Rogue River brings anglers from all over Michigan. Horse ranches dot the countryside offering lush rails and equestrian competitions. River canoeing and tubing are local favorite pass times. Additionally there are seven city parks, a nearby downhill ski area and a community pool. True to its "best of both worlds" reputation, Rockford offers both rural and suburban housing to fit a range of budgets.
