The City of Dallas, Georgia was founded on May 14, 1852 as the county seat of Paulding County, on property given to the State of Georgia by Garrett Spinks. The city was chartered by the Georgia General Assembly in February, 1854. The city was named for George Mifflin Dallas, Vice-President of the United States under President James Knox Polk. Prior to its founding, Dallas was a crossroads of Cherokee Indian paths, and the abundance of natural springs brought settlers into the area. In May, 1864, Dallas was the site of intensive fighting during the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War. The Confederate forces held firm at Dallas, New Hope Church and Pickett's Mill, forcing the Union Army east towards Kennesaw.
