In May 2016, the town's Sister City Delegation Committee visited another Dartmouth, but this one is in England. The two towns, due to their historical ties, now hold a sister city agreement aimed at boosting tourism, celebrating the two cultures, and strengthening the connection across the Atlantic.
Committee co-chair Sheila Koot presented the English flag — a reminder of that connection — at the January 23 Select Board meeting. It will stand in Town Hall beside sister city flags from the Azores in about a month, said Koot.
