About Rockwood

Tucked along the Casselman River in southern Somerset County, Rockwood is a quiet borough of around 850 residents in Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands. Located just north of Mount Davis, the highest point in the state, the town offers a scenic rural setting surrounded by rolling hills and open space. It provides a relaxed, slow-paced lifestyle where neighbors know one another and scenic views are part of everyday life.

The town's historic rail corridor has found new life as part of the Great Allegheny Passage, bringing cyclists, kayakers, and outdoor enthusiasts right through town. Local families are served by the Rockwood Area School District, with the elementary and junior-senior high schools conveniently close to home. With its quiet streets, friendly community feel, and easy access to nearby state parks and mountain resorts, Rockwood is a comfortable place to settle down for anyone who loves the outdoors.
