East Rochester ( T )
New York is a state in the northeastern United States. Majority of the population is concentrated in the southern portion around New York City, the state is often regionalized into Upstate and Downstate. New York is the home of Ellis Island, where many immigrants in the early 20th century arrived in the United States.
The Village of East Rochester, in Monroe County, New York, is home to about 6,700 people. It is located southeast of the City of Rochester.
The Village of East Rochester actually started out as the Village of Despatch in 1897. Despatch was laid out as a planned community designed around the rail roads. Much of the original land which became the village came from Fairport businessman Walter Parce. This land was used to develop housing for employees of the earliest employers: The Merchants Despatch Corporation and the Aeolian Piano Corporation. The original buildings of the Aeolian Piano Corporation are still in use today as a shopping center and office complex called Piano Works Mall.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 3.5 square kilometers. None of the area is covered with water. The boundaries of the village were divided between the towns of Perinton, Pittsford, and Penfield. In 1982 the residents of the village voted to become a coterminous town and village.
In the village the population was spread out with 24.1 percent under the age of 18, 8.7 percent from 18 to 24, 31.7 percent from 25 to 44, 20.8 percent from 45 to 64, and 14.8 percent who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 36 years. For every 100 females there were 88.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 83.1 males.
