Celebrating 200 Years of Bringing Georgia Together!

Perry was founded in 1824 and named in honor of Oliver Hazard Perry, a War of 1812 hero. Perry began as an antebellum industry, including gristmills, sawmills, and cotton gins. Perry was formally incorporated in 1824 as the first municipality in Houston County.


Perry is now known as a premier community of choice and truly “Where Georgia Comes Together.”
