About Rockwood, Maine
Rockwood is an Unincorporated area in Somerset County, Maine, United States. The village is centered on the west side of Moosehead Lake, the largest body of fresh water in the state. Rockwood is a gateway to the north country and is located near Mount Kineo.
Rockwood is an unincorporated community with a significant enough population base to have its own post office and telephone exchange, but it has never been organized as a plantation or incorporated as a town. It currently maintains a registrar and clerk, but has never had a true organized municipal government. Its chief economical base is vacation destination and outdoor recreation. Rockwood is part of the township of Rockwood Strip (T1R1) located within the Northeast Somerset Unorganized Territory.
On April 15, 2023, at around 8:30 A.M EST (Eastern Standard Time), a CPKC (Canadian Pacific Kansas City) freight train derailed southwest of Rockwood, causing a minor forest fire. The train was carrying six Lumber cars and three locomotives. Three railroad workers were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. This event occurred just the day after The Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) and the Kansas City Southern Railway (KCS) had officially merged into one.
