The original courthouse built in the town burned in 1897. By 1914, Rocksprings had a population around 500. During the early 1900s, hostilities between Anglos and Mexicans along the "Brown Belt" were common.


In Rocksprings, Antonio Rodriguez, a twenty-year-old Mexican, was burned at the stake by a white mob for allegedly killing a white woman, Effie Greer Henderson. This event was widely publicized and protests against the treatment of Mexicans in the U.S. erupted within the interior of Mexico, namely in Guadalajara and Mexico City.


This was part of a series of racist killings known as La Matanza. On April 12, 1927, the town was hit by an F5 tornado that destroyed 235 of the 247 buildings in the town. The tornado killed 72 townspeople and injured 205, almost a third of the population at the time.
