It was established in 1821, took the name Warner Robins (after Air Force General Augustine Warner Robins) in 1942, and has seen considerable change and growth over the last nearly 200 years. The cost of living in this city is incredibly reasonable which led Business Week to call it the best place in Georgia to raise a family (two years in a row).
