History

Dorr Township did not get its permanent name until 1850. It was known officially as Woodstock Precinct, named as such by the Commissioner's Court on June 3, 1845. Then, in 1850, when the township system was adopted, the first name given was Center Township. Later that year, a group of citizens not liking the name of Center Township, chose the name Dorr for a Rhode Island governor. (More History)
