History

Sylvia was originally called Zenith, and was founded under that name in 1874. It was renamed Sylvia in 1886, perhaps named for the wife and daughter of a railroad employee.

The local high school football team was on the losing side of a lopsided football game against another school from across the county in Haven. Played in 1927 with a final score of 256–0, the game produced multiple state high school records.
