Named after Dorchester, Massachusetts (a suburb of Boston) the Dorchester name traveled west to Wisconsin with Charles L. Colby and the arrival of the Wisconsin Central Railroad Company in 1873. Dorchester was later incorporated in 1901. Dorchester is a small community with a large variety of year-round activities. Our beautiful 43-acre park is the site of the S.S. Dorchester Memorial, honoring over 600 men who died in WWII off the coast of New Foundland in 1942. June brings the annual Dorchester Days. A June Dairy Breakfast is hosted by area farmers. Dorchester is a friendly, small village with something for everyone.
