Douglas Flat was a roaring mining camp of the early 1850s. In 1857 the Harper and Lone Star Claims produced $130,000 worth of gold. The so-called Central Hill Channel, an ancient river deposit from which vast quantities of gold have been taken, is located here.

The first post office opened in 1879, and was closed for a time in 1891 before reopening.[2] The town's name honors Tom Douglas, an 1850s merchant.[2]
