Notes:

1 mile W of GT off SH 29 (W University Blvd) S side of CR 265 between Simon Rd & Wolf Ranch Parkway.

2016 from City of Georgetown website: established in 1906 on 6.8 acres & was originally part of a larger parcel that was sold to the City of Georgetown in 1905 by M.L. Dimmitt. Historically, the cemetery has been utilized primarily by the African-American community of the GT area, & it has been known by many names. Some of the earlier burials in the cemetery are likely those of former slaves. The western edge between the boundary fence & driveway is predominantly Hispanic.
