The community was named for Dorothy Wilson, a young girl that lived in the area at the time the post office opened.[4]
Dorothy is home to two former churches, a United Church that was in service between 1932 and 1961, and Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church[5] that was in service between 1944 and 1967. They hosted numerous social events for the area.[6]
