The district of Douglas takes its name from the river or rivulet bearing the Gaelic word dubhghlas or 'dark stream'. It was the textile industry that influenced the layout of Douglas Village. On 1 June 1726, one of Ireland's largest sailcloth factories at Douglas was begun to be built. Originally a separate village, the growth of both the village and the city has meant Douglas has become incorporated into the city over time.

To the south of the village is Ballybrack Woods, locally known as the Mangala, after the mangold crops that used to be grown in the area, a good place to take a stroll. The village itself enjoys a selection of restaurant and night life venues. Schools at both primary and second level are well catered for and can all be reached by strolling from this home.
