Rockport started as a small company town serving the timber industry[3] on the Pacific Ocean coast among redwood forests in Northern California.[4] Rockport is regarded as the southern end of the Lost Coast region; it is where State Highway 1, which runs very close along the coast for most of its length, instead turns inland before merging with U.S. Route 101 at Leggett.
