Perry's 200th Birthday Celebration!

We’re celebrating Perry’s 200th Birthday in 2024!

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

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.”

Thanks to our partners The Perry Area Historical Society and Visit Perry!
