Douglass was settled around 1830 and was laid out as a town in 1836, centered on a public square. It was named for Kelsey H. Douglass, an early settler and businessman, and it had a post office as early as 1835, during the days of the Republic of Texas. The Texas Historical Commission recognizes the town with a historical marker.
