== Fun facts ==
* Politically, DeKalb County was once a Democrat stronghold like most of Middle Tennessee, but has become overwhelmingly Republican in the last 15 years.
* DeKalb County was the site of several saltpeter mines, the main ingredient of gunpowder, and was obtained by leaching the earth from several local caves. Overall Cave was named for Abraham Overall who moved from Luray, Virginia, and settled near the present site of Liberty in 1805. He reportedly had many slaves and owned a large plantation on which Overall Cave is located. Two saltpeter leaching vats in the cave may date from the War of 1812, although this area was mined again during the Civil War. Other caves in DeKalb County that were mined for saltpeter include Avant Cave, located near Dowelltown, Indian Grave Point Cave, located in the Dry Creek Valley, and Temperance Saltpeter Cave, located near Temperance Hall.
* Within the county are Edgar Evins State Park, Center Hill Lake and Floating Hill Park, all of which are rather popular recreational destinations.
* The Tennessee State Guild operates two small outposts in the county - one near Alexandria, and one near Williams Crossroads.
