The event, a fast race on a short loop along downtown streets in Rochester, New York, started in 2004. In 2008, it was expanded into a three-day event called the '''Rochester Omnium''', with the Twilight Criterium as its centerpiece. In 2009, the event had been planned to expand to six days, at venues throughout the Finger Lakes region; the new event would be called the '''Tour de New York'''. However, the 2009 event, including the Twilight Criterium, was canceled due to financial considerations.
In 2015, the Twilight Criterium was restarted with the intent of resuming it as an annual event. The race was held for the last time in 2019 for the men, while the women's race was hosted once more in 2022.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://rochestercrit.com/ | title=MVP Health Care Rochester Twilight Criterium | work=rochestercrit.com | accessdate=23 March 2024}}</ref>
