The city of Douglasville was established in 1875, with stories and history dating back even earlier. Downtown Douglasville is considered a historic district with buildings dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries. The construction of Interstate 20 through Douglasville several miles to the south of downtown drew much of the retail shopping activity into areas near the highway.

 

Arbor Place, a 4 million square foot regional mall at the intersection of Interstate 20 and Chapel Hill Road, will further diminish the central role of downtown in meeting residents' primary shopping needs, but creates wonderful opportunities for continued development as a location for specialty shops and restaurants.

​

Located just 20 miles from downtown Atlanta, and only 10 minutes west of Six flags over Georgia, Douglasville is a great location for both family and business.
