Douglas

Douglas is a town in eastern Wyoming at about 4,830 feet (1,470 m) elevation that serves as the county seat for Converse County. It hosts various government offices and sits in a region shaped mainly by ranching and farming.

The town began in 1886 as a railroad settlement during western expansion and grew into a center for government and trade. Those early roots as a transportation hub continue to shape how the town works today.
