History

The caboose in Daisy, Georgia, which commemorates the importance of the railroad to Daisy's history.

The city of Daisy, Georgia was established in 1890, the same year that the Savannah and Western Railroad built a railroad line through the area.[3][4] The town was going to be known as Conley, in honor of Rev. W.F. Conley, a Methodist minister, but the postal service rejected the application for a post office on May 17, 1890 because of the existence of another Conley, Georgia. The people of the community then decided on Daisy, naming their town for Daisy Leola Edwards, daughter of Thomas Jefferson Edwards and the granddaughter of W.F. Conley. The application for a post office under this name was made on July 14, 1890 and approved on August 26, 1890.[3]
