About Dallas

Dallas is located in the Atlanta metro area in the heart of Paulding County. It serves as the county seat of Paulding County, and is located approximately 30 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta. Dallas was incorporated on February 8, 1854. The City was named under George M. Dallas of Pennsylvania, who served as Vice President under President James K. Polk.

The City of Dallas has retained the charm of simpler times, with a vibrant downtown friendly community, strong on southern hospitality. Our visitors
love to make this their starting point to ride the Silver Comet Trail, a rails-to-trail paved path taking cyclists all the way to the Alabama state line in one direction, and to Atlanta in the other.

With a quaint, historic downtown, visitors can enjoy shopping and be entertained at the renovated Dallas Theater. Our town has some of the best preserved Civil War trenches in the county.
