Local legend says that Doreen was named at a public meeting in the very early days of the areas settlement.

The country around Doreen at the time was unofficially known as Hazel Glen after a large property in the region.
The meeting was formed to officially name the region. Local residents wanted the name to be maintained as Hazel Glen. However the owner of the namesake property was not interested in confusing the region with his own private property and suggested another name should be found.

After a lengthy and largely fruitless discussion someone piped up with;

“ I’ve got a niece called Doreen – that’s a lovely name.” So Doreen it became!
