History Douglas County has a rich history dating back to the territorial days of Kansas, with its establishment in 1855. Early settlers were drawn to the area’s fertile soil, rolling prairie, and natural waterways, establishing farms and homesteads that helped shape the county’s agricultural heritage. The countryside surrounding Clinton Lake was once home to small farming communities along the Wakarusa River Valley. In the 1970s, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed Clinton Lake to provide flood control, water supply, and recreational opportunities. The lake reached its normal water level in 1980 and has since become a popular destination for boating, fishing, camping, and hiking. Today, rural Douglas County continues to reflect its agricultural roots, with open pastures, scenic rolling hills, and a peaceful country setting just minutes from the conveniences of Lawrence.
