History
The area called Dunwoody was pioneered in the early 1830s and is named for Major Charles Dunwody (1828-1905), an extra "o" was added with the incorrect spelling of the name on a banking note.File:Dunwoody GA.jpg
One of Dunwoody's most historic building dates from 1829. The Ebenezer Primitive Baptist Church, at the corner of Roberts Dr. and Spalding Dr., is still active to this date and is also the home to one of the city's oldest cemeteries, where many of the founding fathers of Dunwoody are buried. The first public school, Dunwoody Elementary, first stood near the city center at the intersection of Chamblee-Dunwoody Rd. and Mt. Vernon Rd. It was in continuous operated from 1911 to 1986. On that site today, the Dunwoody branch of the Dekalb County Public Library now operates along with the North Dekalb Cultural Arts Center. In 1881, the Roswell Railroad opened and ran along what is now Chamblee-Dunwoody Rd. north to the Chatahoochee River. It operated for 40 years, and in 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt made a campaign whistle stop in Dunwoody along the way to Roswell, Georgia. At midnight on December 1 of 2008, Dunwoody officially became a city after a nearly 3 year movement.
 
Districts/Neighborhoods
 
Dunwoody Village
Also known as downtown Dunwoody, and is the location of the iconic Dunwoody Farmhouse. This area was typically thought of when one mentioned Dunwoody, previous to incorporation. This happens to be the place where the "Williamsburg-style" architecture originated with the construction of Dunwoody Village shopping center in the 1970s. Since then, all other construction followed suit in this area, and an architectural overlay district has been set up since. The neighborhoods of Wyntercreek, Wynterhall, Verdon Forest, Fairfield, Redfield, Withmere, and Mill Glen are on the north side of the district and are newer subdivisions. The south side going toward Georgetown includes older Springfield, Holly Oak, and Cambridge. It also includes the numerous subdivisions along Womack and Vermack roads. The Dunwoody Library, Dunwoody High School, Dunwoody Nature Center, and the Fire Station are also considered part of downtown.
 
Perimeter Center
Perimeter Center is the major edge city that has formed around Perimeter Mall. The mall was developed in 1971, with all the office, residential, and commercial development occurring since then. It is a major job center, employing thousands of people each day. It also could be considered the "business district" of Dunwoody. It is also where the Dunwoody (MARTA station) is located.
 
Georgetown
An older part of Dunwoody, Georgetown was developed in the late 1960s. It is located near I-285 and borders with unincorporated DeKalb County. It is also one of the reasons the incorporation movement was started, with many new apartments being approved by DeKalb County for the area, even in some single-family residential areas of the district (POV bias). It contains the subdivisions of Georgetown, Chateau Woods, North Springs, and Village Mill. It is also home to a vacant building that was previously Shallowford Elementary School and later, Chamblee Middle School. Dunwoody's second Kroger is located in the Georgetown retail district.
 
Williamsburg
This area is on the eastern edge of Dunwoody near the Sandy Springs panhandle. It is marked by All Saints Catholic Church, and its retail district includes a Jersey_Mikes, several banks and an Animal Hospital, to name a few. It includes the subdivisions of Kingsley, Brooke Farm and Cedar Chase.
 
Winters Chapel
Located along the Gwinnett County border, this area is unique in that it was rarely considered Dunwoody prior to incorporation.A discount grocery store, an abandoned hardware store and auto mart, a kindergarten, a farmers market, apartment buildings, and a strip mall ("Dunwoody Point") dominate the area.
 
Tilly Mill
This area is home to the Dunwoody campus of Georgia Perimeter College. It is also the location of the Marcus Jewish Community Center, an Orthodox synagogue, and a significant Jewish population.
 
Brook Run/North Peachtree/North Shallowford
This ambiguous area cannot be claimed by any of the aforementioned districts, and has yet to develop its own name and identity. Dunwoody North, Shenandoah Estates, and Dunwoody Trails are all located in this area. Brook Run park and Windwood Hollow park are also both located in this area, as well as a strip mall containing the Dunwoody Food Mart, a Rite-Aid, and a laundromat.
