Rockville is a small unincorporated community in northern-central Solano County, California, southwest of Fairfield and closest to Cordelia.[3]

Yulyul, the main village of the Suisunes (a Patwin people of the Suisun Bay region), is believed to be where Rockville is located today.

The main economic activities are farming, tourism, and the large regional Rockville Cemetery.[4]
