At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the region attracted the interest of three Maryland officers - Colonel Nathaniel Rochester, Major Charles Carroll, and Colonel William Fitzhugh - because the Genesee River had three waterfalls here that seemed suitable for hydropower extraction. On November 8, 1803, the men bought the land, and in 1811 they started to build a city here. In 1817, the Village of Rochesterville was formed from the merger of these and other settlements.

In 1821, Rochesterville became the administrative seat of Monroe County and in 1823, the city, which now had 2,500 inhabitants, was named "Rochester". In the same year, the city had access to the Eriekanal and a little later to the railway network. From 1838, more grain was milled in Rochester, where many mills had settled, than in any other American city. Rochester was the first Boomtown in the United States to write history.

In 1847, Frederick Douglass, a former slave and champion of the abolition of slavery, founded the influential metabolitionist era The North Star in Rochester.

In the early 20th century, Rochester became a center of the textile industry. In 1899 the production facilities of the garment manufacturer Hickey Freeman were established here. Since New York State does not have a significant role in cereal processing or textile production, Rochester's economic importance has declined significantly since then. However, it is also home to some of the country's most successful companies, including the United States. B. Eastman Kodak, Xerox, Bausch and Lomb, Constallation Brands and Paychex.
