History of Douglas County Eons ago, the area that is now Douglas County was temperate and moist, containing such unlikely vegetation as palms, magnolias, and fig trees. Fossil palm trees found near Parker lend credibility to the concept of the Tertiary Period of geological history. Dinosaur fossils have been found near Perry Park and other large animal fossils exist near Louviers. French and Spanish explorers entered Douglas County in the early 1700s. They were followed by trappers and traders in the 1800s. However, these were mere visitors compared with the thousands of '59ers who responded to the tales of gold in the small settlement of Russellville. This initial gold discovery triggered the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, the greatest migration in our country's history. Those initially drawn by the lure of gold were enchanted by the relatively mild climate, the many days of sunshine, and the wooded hills and mountains of what was to become Douglas County. The woodlands provided the basis for a thriving lumber industry, while the railroads created the demand and the transportation. Coal was discovered at three outcroppings, and the mines that opened at Archer, Wakeman, and Lehigh continued to operate for nearly 40 years. In 1861, the Colorado Territorial Session Laws created Douglas County, named after Stephen A. Douglas. Known as the "Little Giant," Douglas battled his own Democratic Party, as well as the Republican Abraham Lincoln, over issues of slavery, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and popular sovereignty. Douglas County originally stretched from the Rockies to the State of Kansas border.
