Dottie represents Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood and a place of firsts. It was the site of the first chocolate factory in the U.S. Baker’s Chocolate, was the first place to support a public school by taxation, the site of the first town meeting, had the world’s first supermarket and was also the site of the first water mill and powder mill in America. Dorchester is also the nesting site for our fleet of amphibious fowl. Dottie was christened in 2010 by former longtime City Council Member Maureen Feeney, who represented Dorchester. She was also the longest serving woman president in the history of the Boston City Council.
