Douglas County Summary
Douglas County is located in the western part of the state of Nevada, and is bordered by Carson City to the east, Lyon County to the south, and Storey County to the west. The county seat is Minden, and the largest city is Gardnerville. The county was named after Stephen A. Douglas, a U.S. Senator from Illinois.
History
The area that is now Douglas County was first inhabited by the Washoe people, who were hunter-gatherers. The first non-native settlers arrived in the area in the 1850s, and the county was officially established in 1861. The county was originally part of Carson County, but was split off in 1864.
