Located in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, Rockville Centre—often referred to as RVC—is a historic, incorporated village on the South Shore of Long Island. With a 2020 census population of 26,016, RVC combines the charm of a small town with the energy of a suburban hub just 30 minutes from Manhattan by Long Island Rail Road (LIRR).
Founded officially in 1849 and incorporated in 1893, Rockville Centre grew out of a community with deep Native American roots, including tribes such as the Matinecock and Massapequa, and later became home to European settlers. The village’s development was closely tied to the LIRR, transforming it into a bustling commuter town by the early 20th century.
Today, Rockville Centre is known for its beautiful tree-lined streets, vibrant downtown, award-winning schools, and rich history—all of which make it a desirable place to live and raise a family.
The land that became Rockville Centre was originally inhabited by Algonkian-speaking peoples, including the Canarsie, Recouwacky (Rockaway), and Matinecock tribes. The arrival of Dutch and English settlers in the 1600s dramatically altered the region’s social and political dynamics, often leading to conflict and displacement of native communities.
The hamlet was named after Mordecai “Rock” Smith, a prominent Methodist preacher, in 1849. Rockville Centre flourished as part of the broader suburban expansion of Long Island, and by the mid-1900s, it had developed into a culturally diverse and economically strong village.
Notably, Martin Luther King Jr. addressed a large audience at South Side Junior High School in 1968, underlining the village’s role in the national dialogue on civil rights.
Rockville Centre is no stranger to adversity. In 1950, one of the most tragic train accidents in Long Island history occurred just outside the RVC station, killing 32 and injuring over 80 people. The village recovered and has since made significant improvements in public safety and infrastructure.
At Sullivan Brill, we bring that same spirit of resilience to our clients. Whether you're a long-time resident or a recent arrival, our personal injury attorneys are committed to helping you rebuild and recover after an accident or injury.
Rockville Centre’s population is predominantly White (78.3% as of the 2010 Census), with growing diversity reflected in its African American (8.6%), Hispanic (9.7%), and Asian (2.0%) communities. The village is home to approximately 10,000 households, with a high percentage of married families and a strong presence of residents over the age of 65.
The median household income is impressive—over $99,000—with a per capita income of $40,739. Despite its affluence, Rockville Centre still experiences the challenges common to suburban areas, including auto accidents, workplace injuries, medical errors, and incidents related to unsafe premises.
When life takes an unexpected turn, you need a legal team that understands your community. Sullivan Brill is here to help, providing compassionate and effective personal injury representation tailored to the people of Rockville Centre.
RVC is widely recognized for its excellent schools. The Rockville Centre Union Free School District operates top-ranked institutions, including South Side High School, which consistently ranks among New York State’s best public high schools. The village is also served in part by the Oceanside and Baldwin school districts.
Private education is also prominent, with St. Agnes Cathedral School offering a respected Catholic K–8 program that attracts students from across Nassau County.
Quality education and a commitment to youth safety go hand in hand. Unfortunately, school-related injuries do occur—from sports-related concussions to playground accidents. Sullivan Brill works diligently with families in Rockville Centre to pursue compensation and accountability in such cases.
Rockville Centre’s downtown is bustling with shops, restaurants, cafés, and entertainment options that reflect the village’s modern charm and small-town feel.
