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)

Flu Vaccine

The McHenry County Department of Health would like your assistance in the fight against flu. The flu (influenza) is caused by a virus that's easy to spread, and it can be more dangerous than people think. Every year in the U.S., 200,000 people are hospitalized and 36,000 people die from influenza. A flu shot is a person's best chance to avoid the flu.

This year, we are pleased to offer preservative(mercury)-free vaccines at all our adult community clinics. Also, we have a new online scheduling system, so when you visit our website at www.mcdh.info you can schedule your own appointment. You can also make an appointment by phone by calling 815-334-4510, between 8 am - 4:30 pm.

Citizens interested in the Senior Call In Program or Neighborhood Watch are encouraged to contact Tamara Reed at the Police Department (338-2131) during the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
