City in Wiregrass Region with a history of progress
Enterprise earned the nickname “The City of Progress” in the early 1900s when it survived a boll weevil infestation by switching from farming cotton to farming peanuts, becoming the country’s largest peanut producer at the time. And while Enterprise is still a leading peanut manufacturer, the city is now a major hub of military aviation and home to a growing downtown with local shops, restaurants and a state-of-the-art recreation and aquatics center.

Townhouses from the early 2000s cluster around the east edge of Enterprise, and multi-acre lots are found along the city’s outskirts.
