The great southern state of Georgia is known for a variety of things now, including sweet tea, beautiful southern accents, and juicy ripe peaches. A number of years ago, however, the area was known for much more than that. It was created in 1822 and was actually named for a man who was named Baron Johann de Kalb. This man was a German soldier who decided to fight with the Americans in the American Revolutionary war, which is likely why he earned the honor of having a number of things, including a county, named after him.

One thing that many people do not know is that, for a long time, The beautiful city of Atlanta was actually inside of DeKalb County. The lines of the counties, however, were moved when Atlanta began growing extremely large, so that now only part of Atlanta is in the county. And then, during the Civil War, the Battle of Atlanta was actually largely fought in this county.
