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.
Did you know?
One of the most important institutions in southeastern Minnesota, the Mayo Clinic can trace its roots to 1883, when a tornado ravaged the area and left many residents dead or injured. The Sisters of Saint Francis, a teaching order recruited to care for survivors, requested the assistance of Dr. William Worrall Mayo and his two sons, William J. and Charles H. Mayo. As the community grew, the three doctors invited other surgeons and specialists to join them, thereby establishing a new method of practice: utilizing a cooperative of doctors with a wide range of skills to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients.
