Prior to 1840 Rockport was a village in Gloucester, Essex County, Massachusetts. Rockport was established as a separate town in 1840 as its residents desired a separate enclave with an identity of its own, and was incorporated in 1840.

As the demand for its high-grade granite grew during the Industrial Revolution, the quarries of Rockport became a major source of the stone.

For many years, there was a large number of residents of Scandinavian descent, dating from the days when Finnish and Swedish immigrants with stone-working expertise made up a large part of the workforce at the quarries.
