Douds was never officially incorporated as a town, but has a Post Office and its own zip code. On the southern bank of the Des Moines River lies Douds' "Twin City", Leando. Leando is the elder, but smaller of the two towns. Leando was settled in the 1830s and was originally called Portland. In the original deed it was stipulated by the Doud brothers that there was to be no buying or selling of intoxicating liquors in the town. This was upheld until the 1990s when Rob Moore began selling alcohol in his grocery store. Until the construction of the first iron bridge (1898) the towns of Douds and Portland saw much rivalry. Douds is home to Douds Stone Inc. which operates from one of the largest underground limestone mines in the state of Iowa. Farmers and Traders Savings Bank (founded 1910) is located in Douds, and is one of the few banks to survive the Great Depression. Now considered one community, (Douds and Leando) Douds hosts its annual Field Day on the last full weekend in June. Eliab was admitted to the practice of law in Iowa Territory on September 10, 1843. He was the first justice of the peace in Douds, continuing for the most of the rest of his life. Eliab served as a state senator from 1866-68. According to a family story, Eliab also performed the service of stopping an Indian raid. During the time that Chief Black Hawk and some of his supporters lived in Iowaville after their defeat in the Black Hawk War, a group of them decided to take vengeance by attacking Fort Madison, the site of an early Indian victory. As they passed through Douds going down the river, Eliab is said to have stopped them by simply talking them out of it and sending them back to Iowaville. The first school house was opened in 1868 in a log cabin belonging to Eliab. His daughter Mary was the first schoolteacher and she was also the first postmistress.
