The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Dorr Township is named after Governor Thomas Wilson Dorr of Rhode Island. Governor Dorr helped to modernize voting in America by removing arcane age limitations and fighting for universal white male suffrage. Dorr was arrested and tried for treason before the Rhode Island Supreme Court. In 1844 he was committed to prison with a life sentence of solitary confinement and hard labor. He was released after 12 months but his health never fully recovered.
