The municipality lies at the confluence of rivers Bistrita Aurie and DornaIn the north of Eastern Carpathians. The city is known since the nineteenth century as spa and practice Winter Ports.
A legend held in memory Dorna, attesting to Dornei state ever since the founding of Moldova, link name of the settlement of a tragic love founder Moldova - Dragos Voda. It would feed the local woman in love with Dorina, which killed a mistake and, in memory of her, decided that the water near the drama that happened to bear her name.
A scientific explanation toponimicului "Dorna" is difficult to offer. Romanian language dictionary published by the RPR Academy 1958Explains the term "Dorna" the whirlpool or water valley. The Slavs called swampy settlement "Dolina", the Romans called it "Durnacum" and the Romanian Dorina reached that by eliminating the vowel "i" and specific rhotacism Romanian language became Dorna.
From historical sources that hold down on 14 May 1600 Michael the Brave, Sent to Moldova his army led by General Baba Novac. The path followed by Candrenilor over Mestecanis, to Campulung and then to Suceava, in pursuit of Mr. Moldova Jeremiah Movil.
After the year 1775, Dorna fall Austrian rule and people have become serfs of the royal domain Campulung. That has generated conflict that lasted nearly a century. Residents were taken to the innkeeper rights, fishing, milling, were put on meadows and forest taxes and were forced to perform unpaid work in various public utility works initiated by the crown. They also had authority to give tribute in kind (chicken, wool and wood). Fair territory eager to numerous bloody conflicts took place which ended significant casualties. In 1884A formal decision of the Austrian authorities punished the oppressors local one with a "severe reprimand".
Dorna residents tried to end oppression and grievances through repeated complaints to the king and the local authorities but they could not be resolved until around 1850When it was repealed the old Austrian constitution and began a period of 11 years monarchical absolutism. Municipal and urban evolution of the city Dorna was strongly influenced by the discovery of huge mineral reserves spread over an area of several tens of square kilometers and the place still known by shepherds in the year 1750, Which they named springs "Burca" - the name probably borrowed Hungarians "borviz". A research of the land Dorna mineral water is known in the literature in the late 1790. Hacquette chemist of Nuremberg made this period relatively complete analysis of water from neighboring towns and Candrenilor Dorna and jump. Formal recognition of the importance of mineral springs and a full analysis of their studies due to the year 1805 of Dr. Ignatziu Plusch. It was first held in Poiana Negri mineral waters and then, under the number 1841 since 1810To submit to the authorities in Vienna disastrous first signals about the state of bathrooms in the spring of Worcester and Poiana Negri, with a systematic proposal for their relative.
From the writings and reports are that Dr. Plusch in their primary water baths were made sick from the well removed from John Spring, located only 200 steps from the royal way. Preparation was done in the home bath. For this reason Dr. Plusch proposed layout of the resort on private property called Cratzer, with technical and material from the mine owner Iacobeni Marien veal.
Development project proposed by Dr. Plusch the baths, was approved by government decree of 17 January 1811 Buholzer and the engineer was ordered to build a building with six baths in the mineral water was brought through a pipe and continue to flow through the gutters.
In 1870 Romanian Church Fund bought Baths Worcester, known as Spa Institute, together with ownership of mineral water. Built a building for the sick to 20 cabins, the place where later was built hotel and a number Wah Casino.
A description of the resort in the late 1880-1895 one of the notes are Crasuschi engineer, former director of mines in Iacobeni. The springs were captured in a primitive. They had some square holes surrounded with beams and covered with fir bark, with no insulation. These pits were filled with dirty water with rust, the frogs sing. From these sources flowed like water through gutters, in barrels placed on the beams. For these barrels water flowed through the metal pipe to where it was heated and from there to the baths. In total locality Worcester have been worth 15 springs.
