History with digital infrastructure
Created in 1870 from parts of Campbell and Carroll counties and named for Dr. Stephen H. Douglas, a Georgia physician and legislator, Douglas County spent most of its history in farming and lumber. Interstate 20 brought the Atlanta suburbs west, and the county became a home for distribution, logistics and technology campuses.
