We’re hosting a year-long celebration with events, historical tours, community pop up parties, official merchandise, and more throughout 2024!



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.”

Join the Perry Fire Department for the Train Like A Firefighter event on March 16 at 10 AM!

Participants will take on our physical agility test, gaining hands-on experience guided by Perry Fire Department members through each of the seven skill stations, offering insights into how firefighters train.

Practice each skill firsthand, and then gear up to complete the entire course wearing a firefighter helmet, gloves, and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Complete the course in seven minutes or less, and meet the state standard for firefighters!

We invite you to participate in the Train Like A Firefighter event to gain a deeper understanding of our department, explore firefighting as a career, and enjoy a unique, challenging, and cost-free exercise activity!

NOTE: Event is limited to the first 20 citizens to arrive and sign the waiver on the day of the event. No limit for spectators. Park in designated areas to avoid obstructing fire apparatus.
