Rockland, County seat in Knox County, Maine.
Rockland extends along the Penobscot Bay, featuring a natural harbor protected by breakwaters and connected to multiple islands through ferry services.
The settlement received its city charter in 1848 after separating from Thomaston, developing rapidly due to limestone quarrying and maritime commerce.
The Maine Lobster Festival brings thousands of visitors to Rockland each summer, celebrating the regional fishing traditions with cooking demonstrations and competitions.
The municipal offices at Pleasant Street provide residents with essential services, including parking permits, tax payments, and community development resources.
The United States Coast Guard designated Rockland as an official Coast Guard City in recognition of its enduring maritime support and partnerships.
