 History of Dorchester, MA
The true glory of Dorchester's history - besides its people - is in its "firsts." Dorchester was the first town to support a public school by taxation, and the site of the first town meeting.
Dorchester never developed beyond the stage of a suburban residential community, and many of its houses and monuments have been preserved from the destruction that goes with industrialization.
The suburbanization process was formalized with Dorchester's annexation to Boston in 1870 and completed with the extension of the streetcar lines throughout Dorchester around the turn of the century, and the subway line in the 1920's.
