Clarkston, GA
Clarkston is a city in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. The population was 14,756 as of the 2020 census, up from 7,554 in 2010.
The city is noted for its ethnic diversity, and is often referred to as "the most diverse square mile in America" and "the Ellis Island of the South." In the 1990s, refugee resettlement programs identified Clarkston as a good fit for displaced persons of many backgrounds. The rental market was open, residents were moving farther out from the Atlanta urban core, and Clarkston was the last stop on a transit line into the city. At present students attending Clarkston High School come from over 50 countries; the local mosque (Masjid al-Momineen, or Mosque of the Faithful in English) has a diverse and sizable congregation; and over half the population is estimated by some to be foreign-born.
A post office called Clarkston has been in operation since 1876. The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place in 1882 as the "Town of Clarkston", with municipal corporate limits extending in a one-half-mile radius from the Georgia Railroad depot. The community was named after W. W. Clark, a railroad official.
Clarkston is located at 33°48′37″N 84°14′24″W (33.810304, −84.239877). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.1 square miles (2.8 km2), of which 1.0 square miles (2.6 km2) is land and 0.94% is water. Clarkston is on the Eastern Continental Divide.
Georgia is among the states that receive the highest amount of refugees for resettlement and has resettled more than 37,000 refugees since 1993. Clarkston receives a large portion of these refugees, but arrivals have gradually declined yearly since 2016. In 2016, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal issued and then reneged on an executive order attempting to cease the influx of Syrian refugees into the state. Additionally, as of 2019 federal funding for refugee programs has decreased and executive orders have been issued that allow states increased authority to limit resettlement, which has resulted in the downsizing of several Georgia resettlement organizations.
The city places a strong emphasis on health and wellness for its residents. The presence of medical facilities, such as the Eastside Medical Center and Greater Atlanta Family Healthcare, ensures that residents have access to quality healthcare services.
