The City of Rochester, NY has had the nickname “The Flower City” since the 1850s, when it boasted the world’s largest seed company,
The Ellwanger & Barry Nursery, among other major seed companies.
The city’s logo is based on the shape of a flower, representing a deeply “rooted” history in its identity.
The city’s most famous event is the annual Lilac Festival in Highland Park.
Indeed, Rochester’s nickname seems to fit the history and culture of Rochester perfectly.
