Roscoe is a village in Winnebago County, Illinois, a suburb of Rockford incorporated in 1965 [http://www.villageofroscoe.com/] . The village is in a suburban area along the Rock River. It is part of the Rockford, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 6,244, however, the area is undergoing a period of rapid growth, and Census Bureau workers in 2005 estimated that the population is now around 10,000. [http://www.wtvo.com/Global/story.asp?S=3126706&nav=0RePXvGZ] There have been numerous border disputes with its neighbor to the west, Rockton, Illinois and development and annexations continue by both villages. Recent growth has included the Promontory Ridge and Hidden Creek custom home subdivisions east of the Illinois Tollway, I-39/I-90.

David Krienke is the Village President, elected in April of 2007 for a four year term. He is a former trustee of the Village and also served on the Winnebago County, Illinois board. [http://www.rrstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070419/NEWS0108/104190064/1101/ELECTION]

Schools

The four public schools in Roscoe are part of the Kinnikinnick School District. These are Ledgewood School (grades K-3), Stone Creek School (grades K-3), Kinnikinnick School (grades 4-5), and Roscoe Middle School (grades 6-8). There is no public high school in the village, so high school students attending a public school must travel outside Roscoe, to Hononegah High School, located in the neighboring town of Rockton, Illinois. The school district has attempted to use eminent domain to acquire land in Roscoe for a High School but has been in court action with the property owner [http://www.rrstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070414/NEWS03/104140027/1101/ELECTION] . Roscoe Middle School is the largest feeder school for Hononegah High School. The Prairie Hill C.C.S.D. #133 also serves parts of Roscoe's NE area [http://www.prairiehill.org/index.html] . The Prairie Hill District agreed to build a new school and annex the land into the Village of Roscoe however the district has delayed that decision to September 2008 and may annex into South Beloit, Illinois.Parts of the southern areas are served by Harlem School District 12 [http://www.harlem122.org/education/district/district.php?sectionid=1] . Rockford School District 205 serves the SE section of the village.

In 1944, Roscoe was hit by a cyclone for the first recorded time. The tornado damaged Kinnikinnick School. The tornado's nickname is 1944 Tornado of Kinnikinnick, named after the school. (A survey of NOAA records does not show the tornado.) But however, one lady has claimed to see the tornado.
