Rockville is Parke County's primary traffic-court and government center.
It contains Parke Circuit Court, the Clerk's Office, the county Prosecutor, the Rockville BMV Branch, and the U.S. 36/U.S. 41 crossroads. It is also the primary headquarters location for the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival. The supplied county foundation identifies these as the reasons Rockville should receive the county's highest-priority municipality page.
