History

An early variant name was Kestler. An act of Georgia General Assembly officially changed the name to Damascus in 1914. The present name is a transfer from nearby Old Damascus, which was bypassed when the railroad was built through the area.

An EF2 tornado struck the area south of town, causing major damage and injuring five people.
