Silas is named for early settler Silas Shoemaker. Before 1880 only four families lived in the area, and together they ran a cotton gin, a sawmill and a dry-goods store. Residents began organizing churches and built a one-room schoolhouse around 1888, and Shoemaker became the first postmaster in 1890.
In 1911 the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern Railroad built a line through the area, and the town center moved closer to the tracks. A second school was built in 1920 for the growing population, and between 1935 and 1942 the roads in and around town were paved. Silas was incorporated in May 1946. A garment factory opened in 1950 and at one time employed 200 people, the city hall was built in 1959, a fire station followed in the early 1970s, and the town hired its first police officer in 1972.
