===Districts and neighborhoods===
'''Dunwoody Village''' is the historic [[downtown|heart]] of the community, and the location of the iconic Dunwoody Farmhouse. The distinctive [[American colonial architecture|Colonial Williamsburg]] architectural style of the district originated with the construction of Dunwoody Village Shopping Center in the 1970s, for which the district gets its name. Since then, all other construction in the area followed suit, giving Dunwoody a unique architectural identity and sense of place.<ref>[https://archive.today/20120724022824/http://thecrier.net/articles/2010/10/01/front/amaster.txt The Dunwoody Crier - Front].
