AREA HISTORY
Douglas County, located in the heart of Southern Oregon, is steeped in a rich history shaped by Native American culture, early pioneers, and the rise of agriculture and timber. Long before settlers arrived, the area was home to the Umpqua Tribe, who thrived along the fertile river valleys.
In the early 1800s, fur trappers and explorers passed through the region, followed by settlers traveling the Applegate Trail, a southern alternative to the Oregon Trail. The county was officially established in 1852 and named after U.S. Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. Oakland, one of its oldest towns, became an important hub along the stagecoach and railroad lines, with many historic brick buildings still standing today.
Douglas County grew rapidly with the success of farming, ranching, and especially the timber industry, which became the backbone of the local economy through the 20th century. Known as the “Timber Capital of the Nation,” the county once produced more lumber than any other in the United States.
Today, while forestry remains important, Douglas County has diversified with vineyards, ranching, outdoor recreation, and tourism. Visitors and residents alike are drawn to its scenic landscapes, including the Umpqua River, Cascade Mountains, and coastal range, as well as its small-town charm and deep-rooted pioneer heritage.
