In this episode of the Rochester NH History Podcast, we take a closer look at Gonic—a community within Rochester that has long maintained a distinct identity of its own. Recognized as a neighborhood yet unique enough to have its own ZIP code (03839), Gonic holds a special place in the city’s history.
After receiving many requests, we dove into the archives to curate a collection of historic photographs that capture Gonic’s past. Whether you’re from Rochester, East Rochester, or Gonic, this episode offers a nostalgic glimpse into the people, places, and stories that have shaped this one-of-a-kind community.
The Rochester Historical Society and Museum is located on Hanson Street. Visit www.rochesternh.gov/history for hours of operation, events, contact information, and to learn more about programming.
