During World War II, in order to secure a military base, it was renamed after General Augustine Warner Robins. It was founded in the early 1940s and survived a direct strike from an F4 tornado in April 1953. The city is nicknamed the 'International City'; this comes from the number of people that live here from all over the world brought together by nearby Robins AFB. The slang term for Warner Robins among the youth of the city is 'Wartown'.

Warner Robins, city (1990 pop. 43,726), Houston co., central Ga., in an agricultural region; inc. 1943. The surrounding area yields peanuts, grain, fruit, and livestock. The city grew with the construction of the adjacent Robins Air Force Base, and its economy is centered around that vast military complex, now one of the largest air force installations in the South and headquarters of the Continental Air Command. Before World War II a small country hamlet called Wellston existed on that site. After the air force base and a major air force supply depot were established, a city boomed. The city and base were named for Gen. Warner Robins (1882–1940), considered the originator of the air force's systems of supply and maintenance.
