Note: The following is the 20th in a series of columns that will describe towns and communities, past and present, that were settled after Bulloch County was first settled. Some have since been cut into other counties. All that is known about the town of Lanham is that according to the book written by Small, ITS post office was opened by William N. DeLoach, who first submitted the names Vadna and then Esther, both of which were rejected before the name of Lanham was approved.
