The population was 1,139 at the 2010 census.[3] The central village is delineated as the Rochester census-designated place. Set on the edge of the Green Mountain National Forest, the town is a picturesque tourist destination. HistoryRochester was granted in 1780, chartered in 1781 to Dudley Chase, Asa Whitcomb and 63 others, then organized in 1788. It was first settled in the winter of 1781-1782 by David Currier and his family.[4] Rochester's boundaries later expanded when the town of Philadelphia was divided up among its neighbors.[5] The surface of the town is mountainous and broken, but the intervales along the White River provided good farmland. There were sites supplying water power for mills. By 1859, when the population was 1,493, industries included one gristmill, several sawmills, one tub factory, and a variety of mechanic shops.[4] The White River Railroad from Bethel opened to Rochester in 1900, but was abandoned in 1933 during the Great Depression. Rochester was one of thirteen Vermont towns isolated by flooding caused by Hurricane Irene in 2011.[6] GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|148.6|sqkm|disp=flip}}, of which {{convert|147.8|sqkm|disp=flip}} is land and {{convert|0.8|sqkm|disp=flip}}, or 0.53%, is water.[7] Rochester is drained by the White River. The town is crossed by Vermont Route 73 and Vermont Route 100.
