One of several U.S. cities named after Naval hero Stephen Decatur, the city of Decatur offers a rich blend of small-town charm and modern opportunity. Founded in 1823, Decatur is the second oldest municipality in the Atlanta metropolitan area and the seat of DeKalb County. Tree-lined streets and well-maintained homes in mature neighborhoods serve the close to 18,000 people who make Decatur their home. The city's Town Square is the center for community activity, shopping and dining and has more than 40 restaurants, galleries, boutiques and shops. It also hosts annual concerts, festivals and parades. Unique shops and fine restaurants can be found at the West Ponce Place Shopping Center. Local points of interest include the Decatur Railroad Depot, Historic Sycamore Street and The Old Courthouse. Decatur's nationally recognized school system's success is largely due to the community's decision to make education a high priority. Nearly 65 cents of every tax dollar goes toward the city school district. The average class size ranges from 18 to 26 students. Decatur continues to have one of the highest percentages of certified employees with advanced degrees in the state. DeKalb County is home to Emory University, Oglethorpe University and other institutes of higher learning.
