Daisy, Georgia - The beginning

Daisy, located about three and one-half miles east of Claxton, Georgia,  began as a railroad town. Established in 1890, it was a busy shipping center for naval stores, farm produce and lumber products.

Mr. Caleb Rogers and Mr. Thomas Jefferson Edwards owned all or most of the land that is now Daisy.

Mr. Edwards contracted the right-of-way for the railroad to be built through Daisy. Lots were then surveyed out and sold.
