The county seat is Dallas, Georgia
Paulding County was created from Cherokee County by an act of the Georgia General Assembly on December 3, 1832.
In 1851, a portion of Paulding County was used to help create Polk County. Other portions of Paulding County were
annexed to neighboring counties (Campbell, Carroll, Cobb, Douglas, Haralson, and Polk) between 1832 and 1874. Between
1850 and 1874, Paulding County was expanded through annexation of parts of Carroll, Cobb, Douglas, and Polk counties
The County is named after John Paulding (October 16, 1758 – February 18, 1818), who was famous for the capture
of the British spy Major John André in 1780 during the American Revolution. André was on a mission
carrying secret papers from Benedict Arnold when he was captured.
