Dorothy is an unincorporated community in Section 5, Louisville Township, Red Lake County, Minnesota, United States. Dorothy was initially established as a railroad station in 1916–17, after the Northern Pacific Railway extended its line from Tilden Junction to Winnipeg and built a spur through Red Lake Falls. The new town sucked away what was left of the historic river crossing town, Huot, and for a time sputtered toward prosperity, boasting a grain elevator, a Catholic church, a school and several houses.
