Rockdale at a glance
What makes Rockdale different: Rockdale's population nearly tripled in the 1950s after Alcoa built an aluminum smelter powered by local lignite at nearby Sandow; since the plant and Sandow power station wound down, the former industrial site has been repurposed for large-scale cryptocurrency mining operations.
