  ## Demographics
  
  Donnelly was incorporated as a city on December 15, 1960, too late to appear on the 1960 U.S. Census. It appeared once on the 1970 census with just seven residents. On March 7, 1974, it was dissolved as an inactive city (i.e. due to very low population). It has not appeared on the census since.
