2593: Rochester Jan 20, 2022

A number of places around the world, especially in the Americas and Oceania, are named for other places in other parts of the globe. Rochester is the name of 2 cities in the state of New York and about 17 other places in the USA; there's one in Canada, and another in Australia. The namesake for all of these is, historically anyway, Rochester in Kent, England, but this no longer exists. It was absorbed into the city of Medway, and lost any status is might have had as a recognized town in the 1990's.
