The county seat is Castle Rock, located <br />approximately 30 miles south of Denver. The 2000 population of Castle Rock <br />was 20,224 (U.S. Department of Commerce, 2000). The 2000 population figures <br />for the remainder of Douglas County are Larkspur (234), Lone Tree (4,873), <br />Parker (23,558), and the unincorporated areas of Douglas County (126,875) (U.S. <br />Department of Commerce, 2000). Douglas County is bordered on the north by <br />Arapahoe County, on the west by Jefferson County, on the south by Teller and EI <br />Paso Counties, and on the east by Elbert County. <br /> <br />Castle Rock, Parker, and Lone Tree and the northern portion of Douglas County <br />have developed as residential areas with more development planned. Business <br />and industrial activities in Denver support much of these areas working <br />population. The result has been extensive growth, with a loss of agricultural land <br />use. Most agricultural land use in the county is centered around livestock <br />production; the remainder is cultivation. <br /> <br />12 <br />
