Do you know of Dorset ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Dorset. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Dorset.<1>

Our source wasn't clear whether Dorset was a community, a post office or a post office located in a community and having the same name.<2> While we don't have its location, we believe that Dorset would be found somewhere in Palm Beach County, Florida.
