Houston County, Georgia
Houston County is located in central Georgia and is pronounced “HOW-stun,” rather than like Houston, Texas. The county is home to Robins Air Force Base, one of the region’s major economic drivers and an important center for aviation and military operations.
Warner Robins is the county’s largest city and has grown from a small community into a thriving suburban center. Perry serves as the county seat and hosts the annual Georgia National Fair. The Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins highlights the region’s long connection to aerospace and aviation.
Houston County has a diverse economy supported by military operations, agriculture, manufacturing, and other industries. Its highly regarded schools continue to attract families to the area. The International City Farmers Market in Warner Robins also offers a variety of fresh produce and locally sourced goods throughout the year.
