The Town of Douglas is a residential upland community between the
Blackstone and French River valleys on an historic east-west corridor. It
is on the southern border of Massachusetts where Rhode Island and
Connecticut come together. The community was named after Dr. William
Douglas of Boston, who donated funds for the creation of free schools in
the town. There is also a state forest in the town.
The community's early economy was built on agriculture, lumbering, charcoal
making, cattle and sheep farming. In the 19th century, this expanded to
include the manufacturing of cotton and woolen textiles, shoes, axes and
other edged tools. In modern times, much agricultural land has gone fallow
and reverted to woods.
Douglas is an unusual community in the extent to which it preserves
historic buildings, both residential and commercial. The town retains farm
buildings and mill buildings, 19th and 20th century residential buildings
built for the working classes, the middle classes and the well-to-do. The
town's architecture shows an unusually complete picture of community
development through the middle of the 20th century.
Southern Massachusetts, bordered by Oxford and Sutton on the north; Uxbridge on
the east; Burrilville, Rhode Island, on the south; and Webster on the west.
Douglas is 18 miles south of Worcester, 40 miles southwest of Boston, and 175
miles from New York City.
