Pooler sits in Chatham County, Georgia, just northwest of Savannah, at one of the most strategically positioned points in the coastal Georgia region. The city lies at the junction of Interstate 95, the East Coast's principal north-south corridor, and Interstate 16, which connects Savannah to Macon and Atlanta. Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is immediately adjacent, making Pooler a genuine gateway to the Savannah area. The community's story began with the railroad. The area was named in the 1830s for Captain Robert William Pooler, a Savannah resident and Central of Georgia Railroad official for whom the first rail station west of Savannah was named. For generations, Pooler remained a small agricultural community, with dairy farms, a sawmill, and a brickyard supporting its early economy. The city was incorporated in 1907, with just over three hundred residents, and its 1907 wooden train depot still stands as a symbol of that era. In recent decades, Pooler has been transformed by its location. The growth of the airport, the interstates, and the broader Savannah economy turned the quiet railroad town into one of the region's most dynamic suburbs, adding thousands of new homes, major retail, and a sizable hospitality sector. The city's population roughly doubled in the early twenty-first century. Today Pooler functions as a family-oriented residential and commercial hub. Its economy leans on logistics, retail, hospitality, and aviation-related employment, complemented by the larger job market in Savannah. The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force and Tanger Outlets Savannah give the city regional draw, while Tom Triplett Community Park provides green space. For residents, Pooler combines new-construction housing, everyday convenience, and quick access to downtown Savannah, the Georgia coast, and beyond.
