The Eva C. Galambos Files on the City of Sandy Springs document the history and eventual incorporation of the City of Sandy
Springs in 2005. Debate over the incorporation began in the 1970s when the city of Atlanta attempted to use a state law to
force annexation of Sandy Springs. In response, the Committee for Sandy Springs was formed in 1975. Eva Galambos was president
of Committee for Sandy Springs (1975-2005) leading the effort to incorporate Sandy Springs. She is a co-founder and former
secretary of Sandy Springs Revitalization; founder of Sandy Springs Clean and Beautiful; chairwoman of services committee
for the Sandy Springs Council of Neighborhoods; and founder of Sandy Springs Civic Roundtable. Galambos was elected the first
mayor of Sandy Springs in 2005. The files include clippings, correspondence, memoranda, announcements and flyers, meeting
minutes, articles of incorporation, subject files, and publications related to the incorporation of Sandy Springs.
