DeKalb County

The area of DeKalb county was acquired by the state of Georgia as a result of the 1821 Treaty of Indian Springs with a faction of the Muscogee (Creek). DeKalb County, formed in 1822 from Henry, Gwinnett and Fayette counties, took its name from Baron Johann de Kalb (1721-1780), a Bavarian-born former officer in the French Army, who fought for the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War.

DeKalb County is known for having some of the best public schools and universities in the state. Due to the strong sense of community and togetherness, the neighborhoods are safe and have lower crime rates than nearby counties.
