My little writings on rochester ny
Having grown to the largest flour producing city in the United States by 1838, Rochester NY became known as the Flour City. Its population had also doubled by that time, making Rochester the first boomtown of the United States. As the wheat producing industry moved further west during the nineteenth century, Rochester NY soon was referred to as the Flower City in reference to the numerous nurseries that grew up around the city. The region saw its own Industrial Revolution after the Civil War. It was during this era that the Eastman Kodak Company and Bausch and Lomb were founded.
