Brooklyn, Georgia was the original name of Iron City.
The name was changed to Iron City when so much mail was being sent to Brooklet, Georgia.
The change occurred when the town was incorporated on December 20, 1900.
According to the Seminole County Historical Society, it is believed that the name Iron City came about when a new well was being dug and hit a spot of iron ore.
The citizens of Iron City thought that the discovery would bring great wealth to the people of the town.
