It was founded in 1847 as Rockford Female Seminary and changed its name to Rockford College in 1892, and to Rockford University in 2013.

In 2002, ''The Rockford Files'' was ranked No. 39 on ''TV Guide''s 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time. Premise Producers Roy Huggins and Stephen J. Cannell devised the Rockford character as a departure from typical television detectives, essentially Bret Maverick as a modern detective.

Although he was innocent of the charge for which he was imprisoned, in several episodes it is suggested that Rockford had at one time been a mostly successful con artist. Except when being specifically threatened by hoods he gets along amicably with them, better than he does with high ranking police officers, who ...
