From Sweetwater Creek State Park to the cultural arts center, from more than 2,200 acres of parks and nature preserves to an abundance of new home communities, from a pre-Civil War home to a state of the art medical center, Douglas County has something for everyone. Just 15 miles west of downtown Atlanta, the country retains a hometown flavor that appeals to those who want the best of both worlds.

Douglas County is still small enough to offer a hometown atmosphere but big enough for residents to have access to excellent health care, great shopping and an abundance of housing opportunities, ranging from quiet, charming neighborhoods to huge master planned golf and tennis communities.

Douglas County was named in honor of Senator Stephen Douglas, the presidential candidate best know for challenging Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Douglas is intersected by Interstate 20 and is just 15 miles west of downtown Atlanta and 15 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The county has a variety of parks and restaurants as well as the 1.4 million square foot Arbor Place Mall.
