Rockville Centre is a village located in Nassau County, New York and is in the southwestern section of the Town of Hempstead. The area was initially the home of the Reckouackie tribe, then as the Dutch and English settlement Near Rockaway. Rockville Centre became an incorporated village in 1893.

The early history of Rockville Centre brought several entrepreneurs who established newspapers like The Picket which was first published in 1865 on an anti-South bias. Two years later, a railroad was brought to Rockville, expanding it even more because of its now quick accessibility to New York City. Since 1875 Rockville has been served by a volunteer fire department. Steve Dondero is the current Captain of the Rockville Centre Fire Department. In 1882 the Rockville Centre Public Library was built and the first high school in South Side, the South Side High School, opened in 1892 in Rockville. The original high school building now serves as Village Hall. The first commercial bank of ,Long Island was also built in Rockville and by 1929 Rockville was the leading financial center for ,Long Island.

The Rockville public school district is made up of Watson, Covert, Wilson, Hewitt and Riverside Elementary Schools and South Side Middle School and South Side High School. The district includes half of South Hempstead and some of Hempstead. South Side High School was included in Newsweek’s article “The Top of the Class: The complete list of the 1,300 top U.S. schools” in 2008. South Side High School was ranked #42 in the country in that issue.
