Dorchester First - In the Heart of Chesapeake Country

Why Dorchester?
Dorchester is changing, the county is growing with the revitalization of Cambridge Downtown …the impressive new Hyatt Resort… planned residential projects totaling over 6,000 housing units to be developed …and a “can do” philosophy at local and county government levels.

Dorchester County, which is physically shaped like a heart, is known as the Heart of Chesapeake Country. Rich in Chesapeake Bay history, folklore and tradition, Dorchester offers unsurpassed opportunities to experience a most beautiful and unique part of Maryland. With its pristine rivers, marshlands, working boats, quaint waterfront towns and villages among fertile farm fields…much still exists of the authentic Eastern Shore landscape and traditional way of life along the Chesapeake.
