Discover Douglas
Douglas was founded in 1855 as the seat of the newly formed Coffee County and named for Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois, the famous stump speaker who ran against Abraham Lincoln for president in 1860. It was chartered as a town in 1895, the year the railroad arrived and the community began to boom, and as a city in 1897. In 1909 the Georgia and Florida Railway set up its offices in Douglas.
More about Douglas
The Eleventh District Agricultural and Mechanical School was founded there in 1906, and in 1927 South Georgia College was established as Georgia's first state-supported junior college. In the 1920s and 1930s Douglas was one of the state's major tobacco markets, a history told at the Heritage Station Museum in the former Georgia and Florida Railway station on Ward Street. The downtown and Gaskin Avenue historic districts were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. In late September 2024 Douglas was in the direct path of Hurricane Helene, which caused widespread damage and power outages. Sources Wikipedia: Douglas, Georgia
