Warsaw, Georgia

Warsaw is an extinct town in McIntosh County, in the U.S. state of Georgia. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1]

History

Variant names are "Darien Junction", "Old Darien Junction", and "Theo".[1] A post office called Theo was established in 1895, and remained in operation until 1907.[2] The most recent name of "Warsaw" was adopted in 1915.[3] The present name may be borrowed from Warsaw, in Poland.[4]

After the town's sawmill burned in 1934, Warsaw's population began to dwindle.[3]
