Douglas County is a county in the U.S. state of Oregon. As of the 2010 census, the population was 107,667.^[1] The county seat is Roseburg.^[2]It is named after Stephen A. Douglas, an American politician who supported Oregon statehood.

Douglas County comprises the Roseburg, OR Micropolitan Statistical Area.

History

The area originally was inhabited by the Umpqua Indians, who speak a language in the Athabaskan language family (although some linguists put it in the Penutian family). Following the Rogue River Indian War in 1856, most of the remaining natives were moved by the government to the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation. However, seven families of Umpqua hid in the hills, eluding capture for many decades. They are now federally recognized as the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians. The tribe manages a small reservation in Canyonville, Oregon, and has a Casino/Hotel named Seven Feathers to represent the seven families who refused forced removal to the Grand Ronde Reservation.

Douglas County was created on January 7, 1852, from the portion of Umpqua County which lay east of the Coast Range summit. In 1856 the Camas Valley was annexed to Douglas County from Coos County. In 1862, the rest of Umpqua county was absorbed into Douglas County, some say due to the loss of population following the end of the early gold boom, while others attribute the absorption to politics. Further boundary adjustments were made with Jackson and Lane Counties in 1915.

In 2017, after the defeat of a referendum, all public libraries in Douglas County were closed.^[3]

Geography

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 5,134 square miles (13,300 km²), of which 5,036 square miles (13,040 km²) is land and 98 square miles (250 km²) (1.9%) is water.^[4] It is the fifth-largest county in Oregon by area. A portion of the Umpqua National Forest is in Douglas County. Douglas County is one of two Oregon counties that extend from the Pacific Ocean to the Cascade Range. (The other is Lane County.)

Politics

In contrast to the Willamette Valley, Douglas County is powerfully conservative and Republican, being akin to Josephine County to the south, or to Eastern Oregon. No Democratic presidential nominee has carried Douglas County since Lyndon Johnson’s landslide win in 1964: indeed the last Democrat to crack forty percent of the county’s vote was Michael Dukakis in 1988 during an election influenced by a major drought. Historically, the county, like all of Western Oregon north of the Rogue Valley, also leaned strongly Republican: before 1964 the only other Democrats to carry Douglas County had been John F. Kennedy in 1960, Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1936 and 1932, Woodrow Wilson in 1912 and William Jennings Bryan in 1896.^[15]

Douglas County lies within Oregon's 4th congressional district, which also includes the more liberal Eugene metropolitan area and has thus been represented by Democrat Peter A. DeFazio since 1987. Within the Oregon House of Representatives, Douglas County is split between four districts. The coastal part lies within the 9th District represented by Democrat Caddy McKeown, whilst a belt from Roseburg south lies in the 2nd District, which extends into Jackson and Josephine Counties and is represented by Republican Dallas Heard. The far southwest adjacent to Curry County lies in the 1st District represented by Republican David Brock Smith, and the bulk of the county, centered on the northeastern half, lies in the 7th District represented by Republican Cedric Ross Hayden.

In the Oregon State Senate, Douglas County is split between three districts. The coastal part (9th House of Representatives District) lies within the 5th Senate District represented by Democrat Arnie Roblan. The two southwestern State House Districts (1st and 2nd) are part of the 1st Senate District represented by Republican Jeff Kruse. The main body of the county in the 7th House of Representative District corresponds with the 4th Senate District centered upon Eugene and represented by Democrat Floyd Prozanski.

Economy

The entire watershed of the Umpqua River lies within the boundaries of Douglas County. The heavily timbered county contains nearly 1.8 million acres (7,300 km²) of commercial forest lands and one of the oldest stands of old growth timber in the world. Approximately 25–30% of the labor force is employed in the forest products industry. Agriculture, mainly field crops, orchards, and livestock (particularly sheep ranching), is also important to the economy of the county. The land of Douglas County is roughly half-publicly and half-privately owned.^[17]

The post-Prohibition wine industry in Oregon began with Richard Somer planting Hillcrest Vineyard at the south end of the Umpqua Valley in 1961. The Umpqua Valley wine appellation lies entirely within Douglas county.

Nickel has been refined at Riddle since 1954. There is a significant federal presence in the region; the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management administer more than 50% of the county's land.

As of 2015, the top ten private employers in the county were:^[18]
