DeKalb County was
created in 1822 from Henry, Gwinnett and Fayette Counties.
It was named
for Baron Johann de Kalb, a German soldier who fought on the side of
the Americans in the American Revolutionary War. In 1853, Fulton County
was formed from part of DeKalb. Until this time, the growing city of
Atlanta had been inside DeKalb. During the American Civil War, much of
the Battle of Atlanta was fought in DeKalb.
The county seat is Decatur, Georgia
