The Confederate forces held firm at Dallas, New Hope Church and Pickett's Mill, forcing the Union Army east towards Kennesaw.

The city was founded on May 14, 1852 as the county seat of Paulding County, on property sold to the State of Georgia by Garrett Spinks. The city was chartered by the Georgia General Assembly in February, 1854. Dallas was named for George Mifflin Dallas, Vice-President of the United States under President James Knox Polk.
