Warner Robins Air Depot was built in 1942 just outside the city limits, its expansion has attracted more residents. Warner Robins was founded in 1942 from the community of Wellston, it was named for General Augustine Warner Robins of the United States Air Force. It was incorporated as a town in 1943 and as a city in 1956; the 1940 census shows that the community of Wellston was sparsely populated and inhabited by farmers and their families. Its most notable landmark was a stop on the railroad line. Wellston had a small sawmill and a grocery store. Peach orchards covered parts of the surrounding land. World War II soon changed this.
The War Department made plans to build an air depot in the Southeast. With the assistance of influential U. S. Congressman Carl Vinson, Wellston community leader Charles Bostic "Boss" Watson worked with officials in Macon to make a bid to locate this air depot in Houston County. In June 1941, the U. S. government accepted this offer. This air force base was called Wellston Army Air Depot when it opened in 1942; the first commander was Colonel Charles E. Thomas, he wanted to name this depot in honor of his mentor Augustine Warner Robins, called by his middle name, Warner. Regulations prevented him from doing this, which required the base to be named after the nearest town. Not deterred by this, Colonel Thomas persuaded Boss Watson and the other community leaders to rename the town of Wellston. So on September 1, 1942, the town was given the new name of Warner Robins. Soon thereafter, on October 14, 1942, the base was renamed to become Warner Robins Army Air Depot; the city has a unique name, shared with no other town in the United States.
