Dorans Rapids (Dorans Mills): on the Fall River, Tay Valley Township, Bathurst Ward (Con 9, Lot 2); The first sawmill was probably built, c1850, by Alvah Adams, son of Joshua Adams, of Adamsville (Glen Tay)xxii. In the 1851 census, only his wife and children are there, Alvah having been called to another Methodist circuit. The mill was obtained by William Doran, who apparently added a grist mill - which eventually became the Village of Doran, with 40 or 50 people, comprising also a hotel and post office. The last shipment from the sawmill was in 1885, ~ 11 ~ Mills of the Tay Watershed and Area - Updated October 15, 2016
when only one man remained - and it became a ghost hamlet.
Presumably, this was the subject of an adv. in November 1862 by a John Doran, to let 'his grist mill in the Township of Bathurst, containing three run of stones, and one of the best Smut Machines in the Province - also his sawmill and two upright Saws, One edging saw and shingle machine. 'Both mills are new, well fitted up, and in good working order; and either or both will be leased to a respectable person.'xxiii In 1881, William Doran is still listed as owner of the sawmill, grist mill, hotel 'and several institutions'xxiv.
