Dooley is a former unincorporated village in northeastern Sheridan County, Montana, USA. The town was established as a station stop on the Soo Line Railroad branch line to Whitetail, Montana, constructed in 1913.
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. Though the railroad remains in operation, Dooley is now a ghost town.
The post office at Dooley operated from 1914 to 1957.[1]
The only remaining building in Dooley is the long-abandoned Rocky Valley Lutheran Church, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[2]
