Rockville is a Washington Metro station in Montgomery County, Maryland on the Red Line. The station is located in downtown Rockville, at Hungerford Drive near Park Avenue. The government buildings for Rockville and Montgomery County are located about two blocks away, as well as several large companies. Service began on July 25, 1984. An old Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station was moved to make way for the Metro.
