"Dorchester was certainly no stranger to the boating community as
it was the first town in the colonies to commercialize fishing in the
1600s, after a failed experiment in Gloucester. The town was considered
rural back then until it was officially annexed to Boston in 1869. At that
time there were several yacht clubs in Boston Harbor. Dorchester explored the
idea of establishing its own club. In July of 1869 it formed a Regatta, . . .
The season was so successful that local community members and participants
decided to form a club and name it after the town. Thus, the Dorchester Yacht
Club was formed in 1870."
