History

A post office called Dousman has been in operation since 1856. Founded in 1881, the village was named for Talbot C. Dousman, a local farmer and businessman who helped bring the Chicago and North Western railroad to the area. The village was incorporated in 1917.

The village was at one time called “Bullfrog Station” because of the numerous bullfrogs in the area. The local baseball team is still called the Dousman Frogs and an annual frog jumping competition takes place during Dousman’s Derby Days.

The Dousman Community is very catholic based. Deb’s Diner even had Fish Fry Fridays for the Catholics. There are two catholic churches St. Mary and St. Bruno. Most of the people who first came to Dousman were Catholic.
