Welcome to this Dorchester County, South Carolina page - a part of the American Local History Network.

Dorchester County was organized in 1897. It was named for Dorchester, Massachusetts.
St. George is the county seat.

This page has been moved to http://janesgenealogy.info/sc_history/sc_dorchester.html. (Yahoo has discontinued their Geocities free service so I've moved these to my personal web site.)
