Douglas County was one of the original 17 counties created in the Colorado Territory by the Colorado Territorial Legislature on November 1, 1861. It was named in honor of Stephen A. Douglas, who died the year the county was created. The county seat was originally Franktown, but moved to California Ranch in 1863 and then to Castle Rock in 1874. Although the county's boundaries originally extended eastward to the state border, in 1874, most of the eastern portion of the county became part of Elbert County.
