Located at a natural rise in the topography, Douglasville was originally known as Skint Chestnut. The name derived from a large tree used by Indians as a landmark, which was stripped of its bark so as to be more conspicuous.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 55.7 km˛ (21.5 mi˛). 55.4 km˛ (21.4 mi˛) of it is land and 0.3 km˛ (0.1 mi˛) of it (0.60%) is water.
Hunter Park is Douglasville's largest park, and home to the Douglas County YMCA. Many festivals, sports activities and recreation in the City of Douglasville are at Hunter Park. The Park features a swimming pool, playground, wildlife pond and trail, as well as a small train for children that operates during the summer. The Park is named after the late 1st Lt. "Jerry" Hunter (USAF), Douglas County's first casualty of the Vietnam War.
While Downtown hosts many shops and eateries, the main business area in Douglasville is located south of the City between Chapel Hill Rd and Ga Hwy 5, around the Douglas Blvd Corridor. Arbor Place Mall is located in this area as well as many major retail stores and fast food chains.
