Dorchester
County
is located in the
U.S.
state of
Maryland
on its
Eastern Shore
. It is
bordered by the
Choptank
River
to the north,
Talbot
County
to the northwest,
Caroline
County
to the northeast,
Wicomico
County
to the southeast,
Sussex County
,
Delaware
,
to the east, and the
Chesapeake Bay
to the west.
Native Americans called this area home long before explorers or traders
from
England
and
Spain
explored these shores. Settlers from
England
began to
claim lands in the mid 1600’s under land grants from Lord Baltimore and by 1669
Dorchester
County
was recognized as a County. The County was named for the
Earl of Dorset, a family friend of the Calverts (the family name of Lord Baltimore).
Dorchester County uses the slogan, "The Heart of
Chesapeake
Country," due to its geographical
location and the heart-like shape of the county on a map.
