Dunwoody, Georgia
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.
Officially, the CDP extends only to the county line in the north; however,
many residents of the narrow panhandle of Sandy Springs consider themselves
a part of Dunwoody.
Although Dunwoody claimed its right to self-determination in its own
political battle to incorporate, once Sandy Springs became a city in late
2005, it removed "Dunwoody" street sign toppers in the panhandle area. This
narrow strip was originally part of DeKalb, but was then ceded to Milton
County, which later merged into Fulton.
Perimeter Mall, and approximately 40 percent of the Perimeter Community
Improvement District, is a self-taxing district of shopping and office
buildings which are located in Dunwoody. The western part of the Perimeter
Center edge of the city spans the Fulton county line into Sandy Springs.
Perimeter Center is served by the Dunwoody train station on MARTA's north
line, while the other two stations in the area are both on the Fulton side.
In 1998, a major tornado tore through parts of Dunwoody, running
east-northeast from Perimeter Center and into Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Thousands of homes were damaged, hundreds were seriously damaged, and
several dozen were condemned. In addition, tens of thousands of native
forest trees were downed. The vast majority of the tornado's damage occurred
here, leading it to be called the "Dunwoody tornado", the most vivid in
local memory until the 1996-2011 Atlanta tornado.
