Initially, it had been used for the local surroundings of his native Dorchester, for which he created the fictional name Casterbridge. This use of fictitious names continued with the expansion of the region. One of his more famous works, Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1891) is set in North Dorset during the 1870s.
