Dooley is a ghost town in northeastern Sheridan County, Montana, United States.

[2] The town began in 1912 or earlier, when the railroad was coming through and landed on the corner of W.D Dooley's property.

[4] George Epler was the town cashier and the organizer of the Citizen State Bank.

George Wright owned the hardware store, where they would hold different gatherings upstairs, until the theater was built.

[3] Although the land around Dooley attracted numerous homesteaders during the first years following the railroad's completion, the region proved to be unsuited for intensive agricultural use, and by the 1920s the town was in decline.

The only building that was still standing is the long-abandoned Rocky Valley Lutheran Church, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

The power was turned on every evening till midnight, also on Tuesdays during the day for a few hours for the women to do the washing and ironing.

[3][4] The town had a Commercial Club, Fire Department, a band and a baseball team.

After 1945 the church had closed due to so many people leaving the area, and was sold to a local farmer.

For three years an old homestead shack was used as their classroom, where Miss Alice Murphy taught.

The high school also had their own newspaper, "The Dooley Dew," then later changed to fit the mascot to "The Eagle Eye."

The high school tried to create a radio station, but due to the lack of power they never bought a license for it.

In May 1916, the west side of Main Street caught on fire, wrecking many of the businesses.

Four years later the east side suffered a fire destroying many of the local businesses.

[2] The town also suffered infestations of armyworms, grasshoppers and Mormon crickets, which harmed local agriculture.

[9] Over the years people moved to the surrounding areas due to the fires and infestations.
