History

Old City Cemetery began as the cemetery of the local Methodist Episcopal Church. Eventually the cemetery expanded to its current 5.5 acres (2.2 ha) which is surrounded by West Church Street to the South, West Haynes Street to the North, Virginia Avenue to the East, and private property to the West.[2]

City Cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
