Douglasville

Built around the railroad that arrived in west Georgia during the 1870s, Douglasville grew into the present-day seat of Douglas County. The city lies in the rolling Piedmont, west of Atlanta, where Sweetwater Creek runs through woodland in nearby Sweetwater Creek State Park before joining the Chattahoochee River. The park preserves the brick ruins of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company textile mill, destroyed during the Civil War, connecting the area to Georgia’s industrial past. Downtown Douglasville remains a working civic and commercial centre, with independent businesses and community life close to its historic streets.
