Some legend has it that Dacula was misspelled and was meant to be “Dracula”, but the truth is the name was suggested by a former postmaster and is a combination of Decatur” and “Atlanta.” Today, nearly 4,000 Dacula residents enjoy small-town living and easy access to the Atlanta metropolitan area via I-85.

The students in this region consistently score high in any national test, and most students from this district go on to attend college. Even though Dacula is close to Atlanta, there is more than enough industry right here to sustain the small town and employ many local people. There is manufacturing, retail trade, construction and educational, health and social services. It’s amazing that such a small town should have so much on the ball!
