HISTORIC DEKALB COURTHOUSE
Decatur, GA
s diverse as it is scenic,
DeKalb County is the third
most populous county in the
state of Georgia.
The county, named after
Baron Johann de Kolb who aided
colonists in a ght for independence, is
nearly 270 square miles.
DeKalb was established from areas
of Henry County, Fayette County and
Gwinnett County. The county, which
contains roughly 10 percent of the
city of Atlanta, has plenty to offer
its residents. From food, shopping,
walking trails and museums there is
plenty to do.
Twelve different cities call DeKalb
County home, including Atlanta.
Soon, Stonecrest will become
the newest city in DeKalb with an
estimated 50,000 residents after voters
approved its creation in the general
election. Stonecrest is the fourth city to
incorporate in DeKalb in recent years.
Dunwoody formed in 2008, Brookhaven
in 2012 and Tucker in 2016.

TOWN BROOKHAVEN
Brookhaven, GA
Welcome to
BROOKHAVEN
A
lthough Brookhaven
was incorporated in
2012, the community
has a lot of history
and the city has
worked to build a positive image
for itself in a short period of
time.
The city was originally home to
Creek Indians. John L. Evins
began a large plantation in the
area now known as Brookhaven
in the early 1800s, according
to the Historic Brookhaven
Neighborhood Association.

CHAMBLEE
C
hamblee is a fastgrowing city dened by
diversity, urbanity and
internationality. The
citys proximity to the
Buford Highway corridordiverse
international restaurants and retail
storescontinual commercial
development and proximity to
Atlanta, offers a small-town feel
with a city skyline.
From its humble origins,
Chamblee has emerged as a
unique urban suburb made up of
approximately 30,000 residents
spanning several neighborhoods.
Founded in 1908, Chamblee
was originally a small railroad
community known as Roswell
Junction. The town was made
up of dairy farmers, railways
leading to Atlanta and a military
operations site known as Camp
Gordon, which served 40,000
servicemen throughout World War
I and World War II.
The city soon transitioned into
mostly industrial property and
the aesthetic can still be seen in
Chamblee today. While the citys
manufacturing and industrial jobs
eventually dwindled, refugees
and immigrants took advantage
of Chamblees affordable housing
and 14-mile proximity to Atlanta
and repopulated the citys
neighborhoods.
The growth trend has yet to
stop. In 2010, the city annexed
more than 5,000 residents into
chamblee
