Rochester is a city along the path of the Erie Canal. The Village of Rochesterville was formed in 1817, the year that the canal started. It had 700 people. Bu 1823, the population was 2,500 and they changed the name to Rochester. By 1830, Rochester was Flour City grinding 25,000 bushels of wheat daily. Then came the seed companies changing Rochester in 1850 from Flour City to Flower City. Rochester was in the right place to prosper from the Erie Canal. By the time that the Erie Canal was no longer a major transportation route, Rochester had attracted Kodak, Bausch & Lomb, and Western Union.
