Oscarville, Georgia, was once a thriving Black community in Forsyth County during the late 1800s, home to churches, schools, and prosperous Black-owned farms. In 1912, racial violence and “Night Rider” terror forced over 1,000 Black residents to flee, their homes burned or stolen. Decades later, the area was flooded to create Lake Lanier, leaving the town’s remnants underwater. Today, Oscarville stands as a haunting reminder of racial injustice and erased Black history. #ExplorePage #FYP #BlackH

One of the best‐documented cases is Oscarville, Georgia, a Black-majority agricultural community in Forsyth County, founded in the late 1800s. By 1911 it had about 1,100 residents.  In 1912 there was racial violence (including lynching and forced expulsion) that drove out most of the Black population.

Today we remember the story of Lake Lanier and Oscarville, Georgia — a powerful and sobering reminder that Black history includes both achievement and injustice. In the early 1900s, Oscarville was a thriving Black community in Forsyth County, Georgia — home to families, churches, landowners, and businesses. But in 1912, following racial violence and terror, Black residents were forced from their homes, their land taken, and the community was erased. Years later, in the 1950s, the land where Osca
