Talbot Dousman and Abraham Hardell were the driving force behind the creation of Dousman.  Dousman Station was a thriving railroad depot with a Main Street consisting of many different businesses over the 80 year period that the Chicago and North Western Railroad came through town.  A hotel, which burnt to the ground within two years, a saloon, blacksmith shop and general store were among the first to serve village residents and weary travelers.  Dousman Station was founded in 1817.
