Oscarville, The Town Submerged by Lake Lanier

Oscarville was a small town in the county of Forsyth, in the state of Georgia. In 1912, the white population drove the black population out of Oscarville with threats and violence. This was not the first time that Oscarville had been the site of racial violence. In the 1830’s, the white population forcibly removed Cherokee farmers from their properties, and forced the Cherokees away from Oscarville forever.
