The community was named for Major Charles Dunwoody. Dunwoody is one of the wealthiest and most prestigious areas within metro Atlanta, with many elegant homes, highly-ranked schools, and abundant shopping and entertainment.Ryan Seacrest, host for American Idol, and on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is among some of the notable residents of Dunwoody.As of early 2006, a study is being conducted by the Carl Vinson Institute of Government of the University of Georgia, to determine how feasible it would be to incorporate Dunwoody as a city. Backers hope to have the study done in time to have such legislation considered by the Georgia General Assembly. Critics claim that incorporation of Dunwoody, as in the incorporation of Sandy Springs in 2005, would take away a great deal of tax money from the rest of the county, leading to shortages of services, tax increases, or both for everyone else in the county. Citizens for Dunwoody, Inc. is the non-profit group leadingthe effort. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
