Mon - July 14: Rochester, Young Lion of the West - 1820s: During this decade Rochester was the fastest growing community in the US and the nation’s first inland boomtown. Prosperity centered on the flour industry. Enriched farmers created demand for all sorts of products. Eventually, however, the center of the flour industry moved west, leaving Rochester without the industry that had defined it. The westward shift of the flour industry was an economic as well as psychological blow to the city, because the boomtown image was inextricably tied to flour. This presentation looks at Rochester’s rise to boomtown status, as well as its fall. 1820s: During this decade Rochester was the fastest growing community in the US and the nation’s first inland boomtown.
