Lithonia, City in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States
Located in eastern DeKalb County at an elevation of 282 meters, Lithonia stretches across 441 acres of residential and commercial areas.
The settlement emerged in 1805 and expanded significantly after 1845 when the Atlanta Augusta Railroad establishment facilitated granite industry development.

The city connects to downtown Atlanta through MARTA bus services and GRTA Xpress, with convenient access to Interstate 20 at exits 74 and 75.
