Dorchester
TOWN
HISTORY:
Settled one month before
Boston in 1630, Dorchester grew along an Indian trail leading to
summer fishing grounds by the harbor and on the islands. The first
settlers established themselves on the hills: Popes Jones, Savin, and
Ashmont. Today, the two oldest houses in Boston remain in Dorchester, and there are more than a dozen pre-Revolutionary War
buildings in existence here. (Read more)
