Rochester, Massachusetts is located
Southeastern Massachusetts, bordered by Lakeville and Middleborough on the

parallels I-195 along the coast, is also easily accessible in Marion. State
Route 28 and Interstate Route 495 pass through or near the northeast corner
of Rochester and are easily accessible in the neighboring town of Wareham. The Bay Colony Railroad provides freight rail service to Rochester. Contact

| The Town of Rochester was founded in 1679 and incorporated in 1686. At that
time the area now known as Marion, Mattapoisett and West Wareham were all
part of Rochester. These towns were subsequently separated from Rochester
and by 1857 Rochester stood alone, having had the foresight to reserve
rights on the seashores of the other towns. That is why residents of
Rochester enjoy rights for shellfish licenses and beach use in communities
not their own.
Zoning in Rochester includes industrial, general commercial and
residential/agricultural uses. The town's center includes the town hall,
library, First Congregational Church and vestry. Across from these
buildings is the Plumb Corner Mall, a source of pride to town residents
because it was designed to harmonize architecturally with the town green.
There are several riding stables in town as well as the Rochester Golf
Club, which recently expanded its 9-hole course to an 18-hole course, and a
park in the town center which serves as the location for several teams from
the active Little League.
Residents describe their community as rural and residential and point out
that it still retains many of the farms which were originally the
foundation of the town 300 years ago. A quiet, beautiful place within
which to live and grow, is their final word on their home town. |
