East Rochester was first officially known as "Rochester." It was planned out and officially recorded, a process called "platting," in 1834. This means its streets and lots were laid out on a map.
A railroad, the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad, was built through the community in 1852. This helped connect East Rochester to other places. When a post office was set up, the name "East Rochester" was chosen. This was done to avoid confusion with another place in Ohio already named Rochester. The post office has been serving the community since 1840.
