We didn't know anything about this and actually I just told my mom about it today. I thought it was the nicest lake in ga.

I was born and raised in Forsyth County GA, and my mother taught Georgia history in its schools for over 30 years. I, myself, am now 34 years old and I am ashamed to say that this is the first time I have heard this story. I always knew there was a town under the lake, and growing up during the time that Forsyth was the fastest growing county in the nation, I always thought the lake had a great deal to do with the "ruining" of this town. But I have realized that the town was ruined long before because of the way minorities were treated. I have been ashamed of our racist history ever since I learned about it, but I didn't know that that racism had turned so ugly when it came to the creation of the lake. My family has lived in Forsyth County since it's inception, and while I would like to think they weren't involved in racism, I know it's highly likely that some of them were. I can only say how sorry and ashamed I am of that behavior. And promise that I will never treat another human being as "less than" because of the color of their skin. I will raise my daughter to love everyone and realize that we are ALL human and deserving of respect. And I will spend the rest of my life working toward unity and decrying discrimination in all forms. Lake Lanier is a place that is forever damned because of the way it came into being.

Knowing what transpired in the 1950’s and a decade later… I stared my walk to look at the buildings from the churches to Prince Hall. I found some very interesting artifacts. Also, there’s so much history in the cemetery here as well. We need to asked ourselves some questions … if this is our only home … who built the structures of so many towns and cities?! Is this how they cover the real stories about this land through killing, burying, fires, and displacement of the original people!!

Wow , thank you for sharing this I never knew however I'm not surprised by it . I live in Forsyth county Ga. And am often ashamed to tell anyone given the history of racism here . It's a shame we have been Baptist in a lake where people lost there lives homes and land there is no excuse for it at all . I am blessed to say that not all residents here are the same I'm a sinner saved by God's grace who loves all of God's beautiful children and am always saddened to here such unjust not just where I live but every where . God bless you for sharing and bring it to surface . Everyone's lives matter and should be remembered and not forgotten Thank you

Lake Lanier was like Oklahoma in its beginning. Had they citizens not been ran out it would have been a very wealthy and thriving Black Community. Some divers say they will never go back to Lanier because when looking for drowning victims they have seen lights on in some of the buildings that are still standing.

I lived in Georgia for 14 years and I have never had any desire to go on this lake. Even far away, the Lake gave me an errie feeling. I did not know that it was made on a black owned town. This is so evil and they disturbed graves all for recreation??? Smh I will pray for those lost souls who have drowned and never come up and for the ones whose eternal rest was disturbed. 😢

That is absolutely shameful. Apparently it wasn't enough for them to lynch innocent men. They had to destroy an entire town. I don't know how life turned out for the people who did that, but I hope they spent the rest of their lives in misery. I'm willing to bet that there are many more stories like this. I hope that they can can also be brought to light. We must acknowledge the past to avoid tragedy in the future, and the victims of these tragedies deserve to be honored.

Also, I don't know what the deaths of the people who recreate there have to do with anything. The notion that swimming fatalities and atrocities from 100 years ago have any connection is inconceivable

First, GA never hid the fact that many houses and communities are under Lake Lanier and the funds were approved for 40 years AFTER the Forsyth incident. Forsyth was a county way outside the "important" Atlanta. The movers and shakers probably didn't even know Forsyth County existed. Towns in American originally sprung up along rivers, The Corps dammed rivers and towns got flooded. It was that simple. The lake isn't haunted, people die there because they get drunk and don't pay attention. The area wasn't chosen because it was black it was chosen because it was rural and would displace FAR fewer than the originally planned site at Morgan Falls in Roswell GA closer to Atlanta. Atlanta was growing and facing a drought when it was built. It took 5 years to fill the lake and almost 40 til 2008 to end the drought. Stop telling lies. The truth is bad enough without your divisive help.

@Funkdafied 89 facts do not make me a racist and everything I said is documented fact. However, your denial of those facts does make you willfully ignorant when you can just as easily look them up yourself. Further, name-calling, rather than intelligent dialogue, makes you part of the problem and not the solution

@@Sukiiiii That's true... because the terrible events in 1912 were done by local white residents, but Lake Lanier & Buford Dam were constructed by the US Army Corp of Engineers in the 1950s, a project created and funded by the US Government in Washington DC - NOT the State of Georgia. The US Army Corp of Engineers still own and operate this lake today, and they need to answer for the flooding of Oscarville, as well as all the other rural communities along the Chattahoochee River that met the same fate.

Thanks for sharing this, I hadn't heard of Oscarville. My Grandparents lived on the Hall county side of the lake when they retired. I remember hearing stories from folks at their church about all the buildings under parts of the lake, even the original church building was under the lake. I guess water for the city was more important than towns folks had built.
