Dothan is a charming place that values the little things in life, like the World's Smallest City Block located behind the Civic Center 'round North Appletree Street. It's not surprising that a city that has managed to maintain its humility over the last century would boast family-friendly events like the National Peanut Festival.

The Peanut Capital of the world may seem like a funny title to outsiders, but Dothan locals know the importance of this commodity and the deep American history behind it. The George Washington Carver Monument located outside the National Peanut Festival Fairgrounds and the nearby George Washington Carver Museum pay homage to a great (although underappreciated) scientist. Maybe food processing and storage seems like peanuts compared to going to the moon, but Carver's contributions to the food-science store of knowledge are still important to modern nutrition to this day.

In addition to this nutty history, Dothan also has a violent crime rate below the national average—though it is worth noting that in 2016 property crimes were reported at slightly higher than the national average. Fortunately, ADT offers services in your neighborhood and can help reduce your potential of experiencing property damages or, theft, all while protecting your family—whether you're living downtown or out in the wiregrass.
