www.rochestermarealestate.com -- Tour Rochester, MA neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices. Rochester, Massachusetts was founded in 1679 and incorporated in 1686. At that time the areas now known as Marion, Mattapoisett and West Warren 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. Today, residents of Rochester still enjoy rights for shellfish licenses and beach use in these neighboring communities. Zoning in Rochester includes industrial, general commercial and residential uses. The historic town center features 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 that precipitated its founding 300 years ago.
