Histori
The area that would become Chamblee was originally a dairy farm. During the late nineteenth century, the junction of two railroads was built at Chamblee; one carrying passengers from Atlanta to Charlotte, North Carolina, while others are hauling workers and goods back and forth from the factory in Roswell to Atlanta. A settlement known as the Roswell Junction appeared at the intersection, and the US Postal Service decided to set up a post office there. However, feeling the name of the settlement was too similar to the nearby Roswell, they randomly selected Chamblee from the applicant's list for the new post office name. Chamblee was founded in 1907.
During World War I and World War II, Chamblee served as a place of US military operations. During World War I, the US operated Camp Gordon, where 40,000 soldiers. The entry of these new people created a building boom in the city. Camp Gordon closed after the war and then reopened as Naval Flight Training Center in the advent of World War II.
Immediately after World War II, Chamblee experienced growth in the blue-collar industry and residents due to its proximity to the newly opened General Motors plant in neighboring Doraville. The manufacturing plant is also located along the newly built Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. In the 1980s, most of the urban industrial bases had shrunk or eroded; where there are emerging multi-ethnic businesses that serve immigrants and refugees who move to Chamblee and Doraville en masse because of affordable city housing. By the time of the Summer Olympics in 1996, Chamblee had emerged as a multi-cultural city inhabited by a large immigrant community.
During the first decade of the 2000s, the city grew to improve its image, build a new town hall in 2002. In 2010, Chamblee annexed a direct area to the northwest that included Huntley Hills and a population of about 5,000.
