History of Daisy
The city of Daisy, Georgia, was founded in 1890. This was the same year that the Savannah and Western Railroad built a railroad line right through the area.
The town was first going to be named Conley. This name was chosen to honor Rev. W.F. Conley, a Methodist minister. However, the postal service said no to this name on May 17, 1890. There was already another town called Conley, Georgia, and they didn't want confusion.
So, the people of the community decided on a new name: Daisy. They named their town after Daisy Leola Edwards. She was the daughter of Thomas Jefferson Edwards and the granddaughter of Rev. W.F. Conley. The request for a post office with the name Daisy was sent on July 14, 1890. It was officially approved on August 26, 1890.
