Cannel Coal Company built the Rio Grande and Eagle Pass Railroad to ship coal from the town and renamed the San José village after its company president's daughter Dolores. In 1914, Dolores reportedly had a population of 1,000. The mines were closed in 1939. Its population declined to 20 in 1936. The population remained 20 according to the 1990 census.
