A post office called Rockbridge has been in operation since 1863.[3] The community is named after a natural bridge that is located to the east in the Rockbridge State Nature Preserve. The bridge is formed of sandstone and stretches more than 100 feet (30 m) long and 10 to 20 feet (3.0 to 6.1 m) wide over a ravine on a small tributary of the Hocking River.[4][5]
