A Brief History of Douglas County

Douglas County was created by the Georgia legislature on October 1, 1870, during the Reconstruction era, formed from parts of Campbell and Carroll counties.

The county was named for Stephen A. Douglas, the Illinois senator best remembered as Abraham Lincoln's opponent in the 1860 presidential election. Douglasville was formally established as county seat in 1875.

For its first several decades, Douglas County's economy centered on cotton farming, with Douglasville developing into a modest trading town as rail service expanded.
