Douglas County is conveniently located between the 2 largest
cities of Colorado - Denver and Colorado Springs. Located strategically
in the geographic center of Colorado, Douglas County covers about
844 square miles. The County contains four incorporated municipalities
of Castle Rock, Larkspur, Lone Tree, and Parker, with Castle
Rock being the county seat. Highlands Ranch is counted for as
unincorporated.
Douglas County was the nation's fastest growing
county for most of the 1990's. Part of that growth rate can
be contributed to by the high number and quality commercial companies
that are located here or in neighboring Arapahoe County (Greenwood
Village, Cenntenial, Englewood).
Please note that some places refer to "Highlands Ranch" as "Highland
Ranch". This can cause confusion. Please be aware that the official
name is "Highlands Ranch" and not "Highland Ranch".
