Douglas County is located in north central Washington in a dry region generally termed "the Big Bend Country." It was named after Stephen A. Douglas, U.S. Senator and political leader of Illinois. On November 23, 1883, what is now Douglas and Grant Counties was created by the Territorial Legislature as Douglas County.
