My name is Jeannette Harper. I am the County Coordinator and Webmaster for the Douglas County website. Hopefully, I can help those researching Douglas County WI roots!

I just finished redoing the Douglas County site and hope you like the change! At any time, if you can't find something, discover a broken link and have a suggestion about what you would like to see on this site, please click the Webmaster link found everywhere in this site.

Did you know: A law enacted February 8, 1854, separated Douglas County from the larger county of La Pointe. Superior was immediately selected as the county seat; however, it wasn't incorporated as a city until 1887. This county is named after US Senator Stephen Douglas. Located in northwest Wisconsin, the county seat is Superior. The first survey was done in 1853-54 by George R. Stuntz.
