La ciudad de Villa Dolores fue fundada en el pasaje Paso de León, el 21 de abril de 1853 por un decreto firmado por el gobernador de Córdoba, Alejo Carmen Guzmán.
El gobernador Guzmán cumplió, durante tres años (1852 – 1855), una gestión de Gobierno progresista y se dedicó a fundar villas y pueblos para abrir las puertas del progreso en la provincia de Córdoba. Unos pocos pobladores habitaban esta región, a ellos el Gobernador les comunicó la decisión de crear un pueblo allí. Esta actitud fue muy bien recibida y así un grupo de vecinos entre los que se encontraban Ignacio Castellano, Genaro Funes, Fernando Rearte, Justa Arias, Pedro Gutierrez, José Eustaquio Vidal y el clérigo Juan Vicente Brizuela comenzaron a realizar los trámites necesarios para emplazar allí una villa.
La capilla que allí construyeron, Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, dio el nombre a la localidad que, a partir del año 1905, acentuó su desarrollo gracias a la llegada del ferrocarril Buenos Aires al Pacífico que, en el año 1946 pasó a denominarse Ferrocarril San Martín.
La villa se desarrolló con la llegada del ferrocarril (1905) y la apertura del Camino de las Altas Cumbres (1916) que la vinculó definitvamente a Córdoba. El turismo ha adquirido en la zona gran importancia, aprovechando las bellezas naturales y la preservación del medio ambiente.
