Silver City is an unincorporated community in Dawson and Forsyth counties, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]
History
A post office called Silver City was established in 1886, and remained in operation until 1907.[2] The community's name most likely is a transfer from a city in the Western United States.[3]
Silver City was a former trading post and home to one of the first telephone lines in Forsyth County.[4]
Education
As the community is located across two adjacent counties, the Silver City community's students are served by both the Forsyth County School District and the Dawson County School District.
