About Rochester

Rochester is a multi-faceted community, a village that has retained its small-town charm and friendly atmosphere despite being located only a few miles from a metropolitan area. What began as a farming community more than a hundred years ago is now one of the fastest growing areas in central Illinois.

 

Located seven miles from the state capitol of Springfield and connected by a four-lane highway, Rochester offers the benefits of a small town with the conveniences of a larger city nearby. Explore our new website and view all that the community has to offer.

 

Population: 3689
