Rochester: A Growing City with a Rich History
Incorporated in 1722 and first settled in 1728, the City of Rochester was organized as a town in 1737 and later achieved city status in 1891. Spanning approximately 49 square miles, Rochester is the largest city by population and land area in southeastern New Hampshire. With a current population of around 32,000 and continuing to grow, Rochester has managed to retain its charming country appearance despite its steady expansion.
