bigcitydude, there is a small city of the same name on the western side of the mountain, but the land immediately surrounding Stone Mountain is part of a large park. As for the mountain itself, its actually a singular chunk of granite. I believe it was formed as an intrusion of magma into the surrounding rock layers several hundred million years ago that solidified and was eventually exposed once the softer rock eroded.
