 /ROCHESTER, the county seat of Monroe County, 229 miles west of Albany, is the third city in the 
 State of New York as regards population, and enjoys a world-wide reputation as the headquarters of 
 many great manufacturing interests. In 1789, the first industries, a saw and grist mill, were built on 
 the site of the present city, and in 1803, the land was purchased by several gentlemen, among them 
 ^K\ a Colonel Rocliester, whose name later, in 1822, was applied to the growing town. Rochester was 
 incorporated as a city in 1S,U. Since then, its location on the Genesee River, the Erie Canal, and 
 the New York Central, West Shore, Lehigh \'alley, and the Erie railroads has attracted a multitude of manufacturers 
 to a point so particularly favored with transportation facilities of the highest rank. 
 
 Rochester is built on a plateau 263 feet above Lake Ontario, and lies on both sides of the Genesee River which 
 runs through the city spanned by many bridges. The city enjoys an almost perfect sanitary reputation, and its 
 adjacency to many summer resorts of superlative rank conspire to make it an especially favored residential citv. 
 
 Here then, is a city famous as the home of the greatest development in the nursery, fruit preserving, and photo- 
 graphic apparatus industries, as well as holding an important place in many other lines of manufactures, where the 
 finer things of life also receive adequate attention. The citizens give their liberal support to splendid educational institu- 
 tions, including a comprehensive public school system, a fine library, over one hundred churches, five orphan asylums, 
 and many other benevolent organizations. The high sense of civic pride is strikingly manifested in the well-kept 
 condition of everything in the care of the municipality, and this is thoroughly in keeping with the established reputation 
 of the city as a progressive community.
