Located approximately 2 miles east of Claxton, Daisy (pop. 159, 2020 Census) developed as a railroad village dependent on cotton and turpentine. According to the Claxton Enterprise, the settlement was to originally be named Conley, for Methodist minister William Fletcher Conley (1815-1886), who served the community in the 1890s. The post office rejected the name, however, as there was already a Conley, Georgia. The second choice and present name of Daisy was designated on 31 July 1890, as a tribute to Daisy Leola Edwards (Miller) (1880-1956). Daisy was the daughter of Thomas Jefferson (1839-1921) and Sarah Ann Conley Edwards (1847-1913). Mr. Edwards was a large landowner in the county and served as the first postmaster of Daisy. Sarah Ann was the daughter of Rev. William Fletcher Conley.

The trains still run through Daisy, on the Macon-Savannah route of the Georgia Central Railway. Here, Engine 3957 passes through what remains of downtown Daisy.
