Rockville is a historic village and census-designated place located within the town of Vernon, Connecticut. Though it was once an independent city and a world-class center for textile manufacturing, it consolidated with Vernon in 1965.

This is not unusual in Connecticut. Storrs is a village in Mansfield. Hazardville is a village in Enfield.

And if you are in Huntington, you are a resident of the city of Shelton.

Bill Romanowski was from Rockville wasn't he?

No, I believe he lived in Vernon. Rockville is a section “town of” Vernon. He went to Rockville High. I grew up in Rockville just down the street from the Gene Pitney home. Rockville is mostly the poorer side of Vernon. I was embarrassed to admit to being from Rockville, but looking back at it now living next to Henry Park was a great place to grow up.

For what it's worth, in CT many "vills" are the poorer section of town because they were the company town. Think Collinsville for the Collins Company. Or Terryville for the Eli Terry Company. Or Tariffville for the Tariff Manufacturing Company. This not a hard rule by any means, but many "vills" were company towns.

Didn't know this!

And you should be a patron of Porky's in downtown.
