Fact text

  • Dunwoody's name has a built-in typo, the city is named for Major Charles Dunwody, but an extra 'o' was accidentally added on a banking note and just... stuck.
  • President Theodore Roosevelt made a whistle-stop visit to Dunwoody in 1905, riding a railroad that ran along what is now a regular suburban street.
  • Dunwoody Village's charming Colonial Williamsburg architectural style wasn't planned by city founders, it all started with one shopping center in the 1970s, and every other building just followed along.
