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.[4][5] 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,[6] 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.[4]
