We had finally reached the town site at 8,500' in order to see more of the town you have to hike around on foot. Sure you can drive these jeep trails but some of the foundations are further off of them such as some stone ruins which looks like remnants of a chimney. Gold and Silver mining begin in Rockland around the 1860's a man who went by the name of Mr. Keene built a mill here but when he failed to pay them some revolted and one of the miners burnt the mill which led to the demise of the town. Most of the miners that came here came here from Pine Grove which was a much larger city about 6 miles on the other side of Rockland Canyon. The town had a stagecoach stop, stores, assay office, post office, cabins, saloons, mines and of course a decent sized mill during its boom years. But Rockland faced a fair share of problems it was lawless and it would not see a revival till the early 1900's where three more mills had been built and its post office would be reopened. It was named Rockland because of all the rock formations and rocky cliffs which surround the town site. More or less Rockland was really a suburb of Pine Grove in the 1800 and 1900's.
