The city of Rochester forms the core of a much larger metropolitan Place with a population of approaching 1.1 million people, across six counties.

Rochester was one of the United States’ first boomtowns, initially due to the fertile Genesee River Valley, which gave rise to numerous flour mills, and later as a manufacturing center, which spurred further quick population growth. The city rose to inflection as the birthplace and house of some of America’s most iconic companies, in particular Eastman Kodak, Xerox, and Bausch & Lomb (along later Wegmans, Gannett, Paychex, Western Union, French’s, Constellation Brands, Ragú, and others), by which the region became a global middle for science, technology, and research and development. This status has been aided by the presence of several internationally well-known universities (notably the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology) and their research programs; these schools, along following many extra smaller colleges, have played an increasingly large role in Greater Rochester’s economy. Rochester has after that played a key allowance in US records as a hub for sure important social/political movements, especially abolitionism and the women’s rights movement. While the city experienced some significant population loss suitably of deindustrialization, strong buildup in the education and healthcare sectors boosted by elite universities and the slower subside of bedrock companies such as Eastman Kodak and Xerox (as aligned with the rapid slip of stifling industry following steel companies in Buffalo and Pittsburgh) resulted in a much less harsh contraction than in most Rust Belt metro areas.
