History of Douglas County Conservation Efforts Since 1854
Douglas County formed in 1854 and settled in 1861 with earlier white occupancy. Early prairie vastness gave way to soil conservation efforts starting 1929. The district organized in 1946, advancing terraces, grassing and drainage across thousands of acres. By 1964 continuous service reached 95 years among board members. The 30th birthday of the Soil Conservation Service was celebrated in 1964.
