It remains a mystery as to how Fort Valley achieved its name, as the city never had a fort. It is however believed that the name was changed through a transcription error at the time the post office was designated.
The city of Fort Valley resides in Peach County, Georgia, and is part of the Macon metropolitan area. The main employer in the city is the Blue Bird Corporation, which manufactures buses. Interestingly enough however, there are no bus routes within the actual town itself. Otherwise, in keeping with the bygone years, agriculture still plays a large role as an employer within the area. Although agriculture is very heavily mechanized in this day and age, there's still plenty of "hands-on" required to keep things ticking over sweetly. Football is a big thing for small town Fort Valley with its' less than 9,000 inhabitants. The city boasts one of the best football teams in the whole of the state of Georgia. The Trojans have played in no less than seven state title games since 1990 and have made the playoffs in every single year over the previous 23 years running. Come on, Trojans!

Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Fort Valley apartments offer parking options, either outside in a common area or within a private garage.
Ask about the stipulations around the parking. Those may include how many guests are allowed and where tenants park.
Some apartments may only allow parking in front of your own unit. Guest parking may be in a common area for up to one person.
If parking is scarce, look around the area before you sign a lease. Ample street parking in a neighborhood championed for its safety is probably fine. However, it’s probably not worth signing a lease if it means battling for daily parking for you and your guests.
Research whether you need a city permit to park in the neighborhood. Look into the associated costs and what to do about visitors who need parking.
Some tenants prefer garage parking near their units. However, an open-air lot may prove cheaper.
Keep in mind that the cost of wear and tear from parking outside can add up. It may be less expensive, in the long run, to look for an apartment with garage parking.
