The Chicago City Council passed a lengthy ordinance January 14, 1895, rationalizing the street naming system. Because Rockwell Street did not exist at this time, no Rockwell Street addresses need conversions.
Named for John A. Rockwell, a real estate man who in 1871 developed land along both sides of Rockwell Street, one block in either direction, north and south of Madison Street.
