History

A variant name was "Danburgh". [1] The community derives its name from one Samuel Danforth (1798-1856). [2] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place in 1904 as the "Town of Danburg", with municipal corporate limits extending in a one-mile radius from the front door of Anderson's country store. [3] A post office called Danburgh(h) was established in 1826, and remained in operation until 1980. [4] Danburg's town charter was dissolved in 1995. [2]

The Matthews House, located to the northeast of Danburg, in Lincoln County, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [5]
