Dekalb County Genealogy Records
DeKalb County was created in 1822 after the Muskogee (Creeks) Indians ceded the lands by treaty and was taken from Henry, Gwinnett and Fayette Counties. It was named for Baron Johann DeKalb, a German hero of the American Revolution. In 1853 Fulton County was created from the northern portion of DeKalb. Many of the settlers to DeKalb were in search of new lands and were farmers. When researching DeKalb, Henry (the parent County) and Fulton Counties should also be researched.
