Centrally located at the intersection of U.S. 77 and 79, Rockdale is in south-central Milam County. It was named in 1894 by Mrs. B.F. Ackerman whose husband sold the International-Great Northern Railroad most of the acreage for the town site.
Recreational opportunities abound including hunting, fishing and boating in the rolling Central Texas hills. Ten acres of public parks, public swimming pool and tennis courts also provide recreation. Valhalla Farms, one of three sanctioned training tracks in Texas, is located just north of the city for horse racing enthusiasts.
Rockdale was home to George Sessions Perry who published numerous novels. Rockdale hosts the Rockdale Christmas Ball on the first Saturday in December, which features Western swing music by members of the original Bob Wills Texas Playboys.
