In 1784, William Prather Williams, a local landowner, hired a surveyor to lay out much of the town. In his honor, the name was changed to Williamsburgh. By 1803, when the area was officially entered into the county land records, however, the name used was "Rockville," believed to be derived from Rock Creek.
