DeKalb County is located in the northeastern part of Alabama and was created on January 9, 1836, from land that was ceded to the United States by the Cherokee Nation. The county was named in honor of Johann de Kalb, a German-born military officer who served in the American Revolutionary War under General George Washington. Fort Payne, the largest city and county seat, was named for Captain John Payne, who established a fort in the area in 1838 during the removal of Cherokee people on the infamous Trail of Tears.

The area where DeKalb County is situated was primarily inhabited by Cherokee and other Native American tribes until the 1830s. After the land was acquired by the United States, European settlers began to inhabit the region, and the first courthouse was constructed in 1837. The county is rich in natural resources, including coal, iron, and limestone which contributed to its growth throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. Textile mills and manufacturing plants began to appear in the region, providing employment opportunities for the local population.

A fun fact about DeKalb County is that it is home to the Little River Canyon National Preserve, a 15,288-acre area that features one of the longest mountaintop rivers in the United States, the Little River. This national preserve is a popular outdoor recreation spot, offering visitors a variety of activities such as hiking, wildlife viewing, and rock climbing. The preserve also boasts the stunning 104-foot-high Little River Falls, which is considered one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Alabama.
