     The city of Warner Robins is currently expanding in all directions including opening a new Interstate exit of I-75 and defining an area of the city as “Downtown Warner Robins.”

     Originally known as Wellston, Warner Robins was officially chartered by the state of Georgia in 1943. Its geographical assets attracted the Air Force (then known as Army Air Corps) to the area during World War II. At the urging of Colonel Thomas, the depot’s first commander, the growing town changed its name to Warner Robins in honor of Brigadier General Augustine Warner Robins, is generally recognized as the father of modern air force logistics. Though the base and depot have undergone many name changes and new missions through the years, the words "Warner Robins" have always remained part of the name. After the war, many people stayed in Warner Robins forming a solid community foundation with military roots that accounts for its openness, acceptance, and tolerance which so many visitors and residents enjoy today. As a direct result of the Korean conflict, Robins Air Force Base was permanently established and is now Georgia’s largest single industry.  

                                               A Little About Georgia

• Georgia is located in the Southeastern part of the United Sates.  It is bordered by Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and the Atlantic Ocean.

• Although the trade and service sectors supply the majority of jobs in Georgia, manufacturing and agriculture remain important to the state's economy.  In addition, federal facililties, including The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robins Air Force Base and Fort Benning, contribute to the economy.

• Cotton, once Georgia's most valuable crop, has declined in importance and has been replaced with peanuts.  Livestock and poultry raising account for the largest share of farm income; broilers, eggs, and cattle are major products.
