Oscarville

Oscarville lies beside Lake Lanier in Georgia, where the reservoir’s branching coves meet the wooded terrain of the Piedmont. The lake was created by Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River, completed in 1956, and its shoreline now shapes recreation and residential life across this part of Forsyth County. Oscarville’s name is linked to a historic African American community; after racial violence and expulsions in Forsyth County in 1912, much of that community disappeared, and land associated with it was later inundated by the lake.
