Rockport

Cape Ann fishing village

Rockport is a common place name in the United States, appearing as the name of towns in Massachusetts, Texas, Maine, Indiana, and several other states.

These coastal or historically significant communities typically derive their name from rocky harbors or prominent stone features.

The name also belongs to a well-known footwear brand specializing in comfortable walking shoes.

We spent the weekend in Rockport watching the boats come in.
