Danburgh is a variant of Danburg, which was incorporated in 1904 but the town charter was dissolved in 1995. It remains an unincorporated community about a mile southwest of the Lincoln County, Georgia, line. The village of Danburg was settled about 1825 by Samuel Danforth, the town’s first postmaster. The original name of the village was Danforthtown. The Confederate gold train went through there, as it was near Columbia Mine, 18 miles to the South. The subject cover addressee may be Eliza Jane Arnett (1843-1915), whose diary is in the Hargrett Library, University of Georgia.
