History

The Native American Seneca tribe lived in and around Rochester until they lost the claim of most of this land in the Great Tree Agreement in 1797. The settlement before the Seneca tribe is unknown.

The development of Rochester followed the American Revolution, and forced their territory by Iroquois after the defeat of the United Kingdom. Associated with the United Kingdom, four major Iroquois tribes were forced out of New York. In exchange for their loyalty to the United Kingdom, they were given large land grants in the Great River in Canada.

Rochester was founded shortly after the American Revolution by a wave of British-Puritan immigrants from New England looking for new farmland. They will be the dominant cultural group in Rochester for over a century. On 8 November 1803, Colonel Nathaniel Rochester (1752-1831), Maj. Charles Carroll, and Colonel William Fitzhugh, Jr. (1761-1839), all Hagerstown, Maryland, bought 100-acre (about 40 ha) channels from the state of New York along the Genesee River. They chose the site because the three cataracts in Genesee offer great potential for water strength. Beginning in 1811, and with a population of 15 people, three founders surveyed the land and made roads and tracts. In 1817, Brown brothers and other landowners joined their land with the Hundred Acre Tract to form the village of Rochesterville.

In 1821, Rochesterville was the place in Monroe County. In 1823, Rochesterville consisted of 1,012 hectares (4 km ² ) and 2,500 inhabitants, and Rochesterville Village was known as Rochester. Also in 1823, the Canal Erie Canal above the Genesee River was completed, and the Erie Canal east to the Hudson River was opened. At the beginning of the 20th century, after the emergence of railroads, the presence of canals in the city center was an obstacle; it was diverted to south Rochester. By 1830, the Rochester population was 9,200 and in 1834, it was again rented as a city.

Rochester was first known as the "Young Lion of the West", and later as the "Flour City". In 1838, Rochester was the largest flour producing city in the United States. After doubling its population in just 10 years, Rochester became the first "boomtown" in America. Rochester has one of the country's largest revival movements, led by Charles Finney.

In the mid-19th century, when the center of the wheat processing industry moved west with population and agriculture, the city became home to a growing nursery business, giving rise to the city's second epithet, "Flower City." Nurseries surround the city, the most famous began in 1840 by Georg Ellwanger immigrants from Germany and Patrick Barry from Ireland.

In 1847, Frederick Douglass founded the abolitionist newspaper The North Star in Rochester. Douglass, a former slave and speaker of antislavery and writers, gained the circulation of more than 4,000 readers in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean. The North Star serves as a forum for abolitionist views. Douglass's house was burned in 1872, but the marker for it was found in Highland Park off South Avenue.

Susan B. Anthony, the national leader of the women's suffrage movement, is from Rochester. The Nineteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees the right of women to vote in 1920, is known as the Amendment of Susan B. Anthony because of his work towards his part, which he did not live to see. Anthony's House is a National Historic Landmark known as the National Susan B. Anthony Museum and House.

At the end of the 19th century, anarchist Emma Goldman lived and worked in Rochester for several years, where she fought for the cause of labor in Rochester sweatshop. Rochester is also home to significant unrest in labor, race, and anti-war protests.

After the Civil War, Rochester had a new industrial expansion in the late 19th century, established by migrants to the city, including inventor and entrepreneur George Eastman, who founded Eastman Kodak; and German immigrants, John Jacob Bausch and Henry Lomb, who launched Bausch & amp; Lomb in 1861. Not only did they create a new industry, but Eastman became the main philanthropist, developing and conferring the University of Rochester, the Eastman School of Music and other local institutions.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Rochester became the center of the garment industry, especially the menswear. It is the foundation of the company Bond Clothing Store, Fashion Park Apparel, Hickey Freeman, and Stein-Bloch & amp; Co Trainer James Cunningham and Sons founded the pioneer car company - Cunningham.

The population reached 62,386 in 1870, 162,608 in 1900 and 295,750 in 1920. By 1950, the population had reached a high of 332,488. In 1950, the Census Bureau reported Rochester residents as 97.6% white and 2.3% black. With industrial restructuring at the end of the 20th century, and the decline of industry and employment in the area, in 2010, the city's population declined to 210,565, although the metropolitan area is much larger.

Transportation

Marine transport

There is a sea freight service in the Port of Rochester on Lake Ontario, which connects to the Atlantic Ocean via Saint Lawrence Seaway.

High speed passenger ferries, the spirit of Ontario I built in Australia, dubbed The Breeze or The Fast Ferry, connect Rochester to Toronto on Lake Ontario. Canadian American Transportation Systems (CATS) is the company responsible for Ferry Rapid operations. Ontario Spirit I had a late arrival on April 29, 2004 as a result of crashing the dock in New York City on April 5, 2004 and finally being officially baptized on June 16, 2004 at the Port of Rochester. The Fast Ferry was bought by City of Rochester in an effort to save the project. Ferry Quickly operated between June 17, 2004, and December 12, 2005, and cost $ 42.5 million. The project was originally well received by Rochester residents. A considerable effort was spent by Rochester residents to build beaches to embrace ideas as well as to tap into the estimated tourism potential to be an additional 75,000 tourists a month. In the first three months of operation, the fast ferry has brought about 140,000 people between Rochester and Toronto. The second Quick Ferry was proposed by CATS on August 27, 2004 which would cost an additional $ 100 Million. There are a number of problems regarding ship engines, the lack of reciprocal building from the waterfronts in Toronto and the inability of the city to put pressure on the companies responsible for Fast Ferry production. This resulted in a project failure. It was sold to the Seedsouristic Reederei FÃÆ'¶rde, a German company, for $ 30 million.
