Although central Tucker, also known as "Main Street Tucker", is laid out as a planned "railroad town," it has never been formally incorporated, thus all services such as fire, police, water, schools etc. are provided by the county. If incorporated, Tucker would be the largest city in DeKalb County, Georgia (excluding Atlanta which is mostly in Fulton County). An exploratory committee formed by the Tucker Civic Association is currently exploring the possibilities of incorporating Tucker as a new city.
