Dothan is located in the southeast corner of Alabama and is 20 miles west of the Georgia state line and 16 miles north of Florida. Because of its location, Dothan is a transportation and commercial hub for much of Southeast Alabama, Southwest Georgia and some of the Florida Panhandle. Because one-fourth of the U.S. peanut crop is produced in the surrounding area, most of the peanuts are processed in Dothan, earning the city the distinction of “Peanut Capitol of the World.” The city also hosts annually the National Peanut Festival. Additionally, Dothan is known as the “Circle City” due to the fact that it is encompassed by Alabama State Route 210.
The county seat of Houston County, Dothan is 25 miles away from Fort Rucker and is served by three four-lane highways: U.S. 84, U.S. 231 and U.S. 431. Dothan Regional Airport services air travel.
