About Perry

Perry is the county seat of Houston County, founded in 1823 as Wattsville near the county's center. It still has a courthouse-town role, but its public image is strongly tied to the Georgia National Fair, held each October at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter. Perry also sits near Robins Air Force Base, which shapes the broader regional economy. The city feels like a middle Georgia hub: civic, agricultural, military-adjacent, and increasingly connected to Warner Robins growth.
