Native American tribes initially occupied the region that is now known as Rockton. And, since then, it has undergone many changes. Local attractions are plentiful and the people in the region are so friendly and hospitable that you will immediately feel at home. The seasonal weather allows for a very traditional hometown ambiance with snowy, icy weather in the winter and hot weather in the summer. Married to a Native American princess, Stephen Mack, Jr. was the earliest white settler in the area. Mack made out very well in the 1837 treaty between the government and the Winnebago, and in 1839 he used a quantity of the money he received to construct a two-story home. This house survives in what is now the Macktown Forest Preserve. His original outpost was called Macktown.

William Talcott arrived to the area later and, after a dispute with Mack, established on the further side of the close by river contained inside what is now the village of Rockton.
