Rochester is the county seat of Olmsted County in southeast Minnesota. It sits on the banks of the south fork of the Zumbro River. It is the third-largest city in Minnesota, with a population of 121,395 within the city limits (2020 U.S. Census). It has 226,329 people, including the nearby agricultural areas as part of the larger Rochester Metropolitan Area.
The city had a humble beginning in the mid-1850s when it started as a stagecoach stop on the way from Saint Paul, Minnesota, to Dubuque, Iowa. George and Henrietta Head built a log cabin in 1854 as the first building and called it Head's Tavern. They named the settlement Rochester after George's hometown of Rochester, New York.
Rochester is best known for being the birthplace of the world-famous Mayo Clinic, named after the Civil War surgeon for the Union Army, Dr. William W. Mayo, who arrived in the area in 1863. Dr. Mayo and his two sons raised money to build the first medical facility, St. Mary's Hospital, which opened in 1889. Thus began the legacy of the Mayo family that would ultimately lead to the founding of the Mayo Clinic.
Whether you love a rural lifestyle or like the convenience of city living, this area can accommodate your needs.
