History
Decatur was founded in 1823 by William Decatur, a veteran of the War of 1812. The city was named after his father, Stephen Decatur, a naval hero of the War of 1812. Decatur was incorporated as a city in 1823 and was the county seat of DeKalb County until 1854, when the county seat was moved to Atlanta.
Decatur grew rapidly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, becoming a major industrial center. The city was home to several large factories, including the Georgia-Pacific Corporation, which was founded in Decatur in 1927.
Decatur experienced a period of decline in the mid-20th century, as many of the city’s factories closed or moved away. The city has since experienced a resurgence, with a growing population and a vibrant economy.
