On January 28, 1908 the Doyle Post Office was established. It should be duly noted the region was served for many years with a post office named Long Valley. In addition, the place was also known for a number of years as Willow Ranch, a popular stage-stop there, located next to the the Long Valley Cemetery. In 1909, the place would begin a transformation when the Western Pacific Railway was built through there. However, it was not until 1911, that the Doyle townsite came to be.
