The county was first settled prior to 1848 by the Vansant brothers from South Carolina, Abe, Reuben, and Young. Young settled at Flat Rock, two miles west of the present court house. He deeded 40 acres for the first county scat at Skint Chestnut, January 9, 1871. The county was named in honor of U. S.

The county seat is Douglasville.
