Rochester, Minnesota. The Roch metropolitan area spans many smaller towns and communities. A quick way to tell if a person is from one of these smaller towns is if they actually us this word and refer to
Rochester as Roch. No one from Rochester actually uses the word Roch. People from Rochester would refer to the city by it's name, or in slang terms the
507, referring to the entire area code of southern MN.
