Houston County, Administrative division in central Georgia, United States
Houston County spans 380 square miles across central Georgia, incorporating both developed urban areas and expansive agricultural lands within its boundaries.
Established in 1821, Houston County received its name from John Houstoun, a former Georgia governor, with Perry later designated as the county seat.
The Perry Dogwood Festival brings together residents each spring to celebrate local traditions through music, food, and community activities.
Interstate 75 runs through Houston County, connecting travelers to major cities while providing access to local services and shopping districts.
The pronunciation of Houston County differs from its Texas counterpart, maintaining the original 'howston' sound despite the spelling evolution.
