New Rochester is an unincorporated community in Wood County, Ohio, United States. New Rochester is located along U.S. Route 6 and Ohio State Route 199, 7.5miles east of Bowling Green.
New Rochester was originally called Freedom, and under the latter name was platted in 1835.[1] A post office called New Rochester was established in 1837, and remained in operation until 1903.[2] The present name may be derived from East Rochester, Ohio, the former home of an early settler.[3]
