Doraville is a city in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States northeast of Atlanta.

[5] From its development until the 1940s, Doraville was a small agricultural community that served the interests of a larger surrounding farming area.

At the end of World War II, Doraville was on a main railroad line and had a new water system.

In the late 1940s, plans for Guilford Village, the first subdivision, were announced by Southern Builders and Engineering Company.

By the 1980s, Doraville and neighboring Chamblee attracted immigrants relocating to the Atlanta area who settled along Buford Highway.

[6] Doraville is northeast of Chamblee, southeast of Dunwoody, southwest of Norcross and Peachtree Corners, and northwest of Tucker.

It has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa) and average monthly high temperatures range from 53 °F in January to 90 °F in July.

Since the closure of the GM Assembly Plant, Doraville's economy has carried on with a mix of small, medium businesses.

Many small ethnic restaurants can be found along Buford Highway and Peachtree Industrial Blvd.
