Pooler

About this city

Also known as: The Coolest City in Georgia

Located in eastern Chatham County just ten miles west of historic Savannah, Pooler is one of the fastest-growing commercial and industrial cities in Georgia. Established in the mid-19th century as a vital refueling station called Station No. 1 along the Central of Georgia Railway, it played a key tactical logistics role during the American Civil War. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Pooler experienced an explosive economic boom, evolving from a quiet sleepy town into a powerhouse of heavy aviation manufacturing—serving as the global headquarters for Gulfstream Aerospace—and high-capacity logistics. The modern cityscape is defined by massive retail centers, upscale master-planned residential communities, and advanced industrial parks closely tied to the nearby port operations.
