Description From Owner:
- Pop. 273. In Bromley T., Renfrew C., on the Bonnechere R. and Hwy 60 and C. Rds. 5 & 22, 22 km W of Renfrew.
- The community grew up beside what was known as the Third Chute of the Bonnechere R., a 21-foot (3.4 m) waterfall over which log drivers had to shepherd their timber.
- Thomas Bell built a grist mill here in the 1840s and in 1853 Judge John G. Mallock had a townsite surveyed. When the post office was established the following year, Scottish settlers chose the name Douglas after a town in Lanarkshire, Scotland.
