Decatur is a city in, and county seat of, DeKalb County, Georgia, United States.

The town was named for naval hero Stephen Decatur, and its early roads were named logically but soon after were renamed in a curious manner: In the 1830s, the Western and Atlantic Railroad wanted to make Decatur the southernmost stop on its line. The citizens of Decatur did not want the noise, pollution and growth that would come with such a major terminal, so they rejected the proposal.
