Welcome to one of the most treasured communities in all of New England, Rockland, Maine. Situated in the mid-Maine coast on Penobscot Bay, Rockland is a seaside community blessed with some spectacular geographic features and abundant natural resources, making the city one of the most beautiful and prosperous communities in the state.

Located in Knox County, Rockland is sometimes known as the “Lobster Capital of the World” thanks to the fertile fishing grounds in Penobscot Bay and its role as one of the largest lobster distribution points in the world. The city’s shoreline is wonderfully rugged with rocky outcroppings that protects the shoreline. The community has huge limestone deposits lending itself to many limestone quarries, which gave the city its name. Limestone processing and salt manufacturing continue to be a vital sector of the community’s economy.

Perhaps you’ve seen Rockland on the big screen. The city was the setting for the Mel Gibson movie, “The Man Without a Face”, and “In The Bedroom”, a movie that was nominated for Best Picture at the 2001 Academy Awards. Perhaps the best tribute to Rockland is that it was named one of the “Top 100 Communities” in the country to live.
