Dunwoody is a census-designated place (to become an incorporated city in December 2008), located in metro Atlanta in northern DeKalb County, Georgia. As of the 2000 census, the CDP had a total population of 32,808. The community was named for Major Charles Dunwoody.
The city was formed through an idea from a freshman state senator that grew into a three-year crusade, ending on July 15, 2008 with a resounding vote in the referendum to create the city of Dunwoody. Voters in 12 of Dunwoody’s 13 voting precincts affirmed creating a city by margins no smaller than 2.5 to 1. The city charter will officially take effect on December 1, after elections in September 2008.
Dunwoody is generally considered to be the northern tip of DeKalb County, bounded by the Fulton County line on the north and west, Interstate 285 on the south, Peachtree Industrial Boulevard on the southeast, and Gwinnett County on the northeast.
