History

By 1908 enough French speaking settlers had arrived in the region to establish a community which they named Valroy (Val Roy). The name was later changed to Dollard. The name Dollard was chosen by Father Louis-Pierre Gravel (the founder of Gravelbourg) to honour the memory of a hero of New France, Adam Dollard, Sieur des Ormeaux.

A post office was established in 1909 and in 1911 the church of Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc) was built. A store soon followed and then a school in 1912.

The post office closed in 1988.
