Daubuz Moors commemorates Lewis Charles Daubuz,{{Cite web|url=https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/120169571/lewis-charles-daubuz|title=Lewis Charles Daubuz (1837-1838) - Find A Grave...|website=www.findagrave.com}} a local resident of French Huguenot extraction whose family owned the tin smelters at Carvedras. For many years, the area was grazed by cattle and sheep, but successive generations have also used it for recreation. At its southern end once stood Moresk Mill, which produced flour throughout most of the 19th century. Powered by water, the remains of its leat, millpool and sluices are still evident.
Daubuz Moors western boundary is formed by the River Allen, a tributary of the Truro River. It flows under Moresk railway viaduct at the southern end of the reserve where 14 stone pillars of the original wooden structure stand alongside the replacement stone viaduct.
The name Daubuz is pronounced [dɔbz] and comes from French "D'Aubus".
