DeKalb County was established on Dec. 9, 1822 by an act of
the General Assembly (Ga. Laws 1822, p. 21). Created from portions
of Fayette and Gwinnett counties, Georgia's 54th county was named
for Baron Johann DeKalb, who served as a major general in the
Continental Army and was wounded in the Battle of Camden, South
Carolina.
In 1853, Fulton County was created entirely from DeKalb County
(Ga. Laws 1853-54. p. l300). Portions of DeKalb were used to
create Campbell County (1828) and Cherokee County (1831) and
were also transferred to the following existing counties: Coweta
(1826), Gwinnett (1840), Milton (1859), and Rockdale (1875).
