From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Douglas is an unincorporated community located in Douglas County, Washington, east of Waterville.[2] Established in 1883, it is home to approximately 30 residents.[citation needed]
History
Douglas was established in 1883, with many families moving from their native towns and settling in a less populated area. They started offering classes 5 years later in 1887. By 1900, the community was housing about 75 residents. A general store was built in 1905, and has become a main attraction since then. In 1909, the Northern Railway's Mansfield spur line began operation, and trains were running through the community until 1985, when the rails shut down.[3]
