In 1868 William Cameron Edwards, a young entrepreneur and first postmaster who held timber rights in the area, established a sawmill at the McCaul point. In 1988 a link to the Grand Trunk Railway enabled wood and merchandise to be transported. Edwards named the area Rockland because of the rocky nature of the landscape. The post office dates from 1869.
