Rockport is a home rule-class city in Ohio County, Kentucky, United States.

The city is descriptively named for the large rocks on a nearby river bank.

[2] Rockport is rooted in a small settlement known as Benton's Ferry, which developed along the Green River in the early 19th century.

When a post office was established in 1863, the settlement used the name "Rock Port" (later shortened to a single word).

19.5% of all households were made up of individuals, and 10.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
