It was first a part of Otsego township until 1842, when Watson was then formed and included the present townships of Watson, Hopkins and Dorr. In 1847, the separate township of Dorr was created by an Act of the legislature The name is supposed to be derived from the principal in Dorr's (Rhode Island) Rebellion.
