Rollingwood is a census-designated place (CDP) in Contra Costa County, California, United States.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.2 square miles (0.52 km2), all of it land.

Federal officials approved bank loans to finance construction, requiring that the homes not be sold to African-Americans.

[6] In 1952, Wilbur Gary, an African-American navy war veteran, former shipyard worker, and building contractor, purchased a home in Rollingwood from fellow navy war veteran Lieutenant Commander Sidney Hogan.

Gary's purchase provoked anger among residents of the formerly all-white town.

The mob shouted racial epithets, hurled a brick through the family's window, and burned a cross on their front lawn.

11.7% of all households were made up of individuals, and 6.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Rollingwood is in the West Contra Costa Unified School District.
