About Rochester

Named after Rochester, NY, this city in southeastern Minnesota's Zumbro River Valley had rather humble beginnings, starting out as a mid-19th century stopping point for westward-heading wagons. In 1857, Rochester vied with nearby Marion to become the county seat and, in the end, lost by a questionably slim margin (both sides are said to have cheated). Nevertheless, the town was incorporated a year later, and in subsequent years surpassed Marion in both size and importance, eventually taking over the role of county seat. In August of 1883, a tornado ravaged Rochester, leaving doctors and nurses overwhelmed with injuries and casualties. Dr. William Mayo and his sons were called in to help treat patients; thus began the city's long association with the Mayo Clinic, whose concept of multi-specialty group practice forever changed the medical profession. However, the town is not just an overgrown medical community. It has also attracted a wide range of professionals in various fields and annually ranks among the top five most livable cities in the United States. Most notably, IBM maintains a strategic center in Rochester that's responsible for the design, development, and manufacture of (among other products) the company's e-Server iSeries. Indeed, for a city its size, Rochester offers a wealth of leisure and cultural opportunities for the entire family. A highlight is mid-summer's RochesterFest, a terrific celebration that includes live music, street dances, a lumberjack competition, and a bike race.

While Rochester itself doesn't offer much in the way of good fishing, the surrounding region sure does. Anglers from far and wide enjoy tackling the streams and rivers in southeastern Minnesota, particularly those in the scenic Bluff Country, Whitewater State Park, and the myriad streams that feed the Zumbro River.
