Cemeteries in Calhoun County (County)
Alabama, United States
Calhoun County, Alabama, was established in 1832 and originally named Benton County before being renamed in 1858 to honor U.S. Vice President John C. Calhoun.
The area was once home to the Muscogee (Creek) people and became part of the United States following the 1832 Treaty of Cusseta. Early settlers of European descent, primarily from Georgia and the Carolinas, developed the county through agriculture and later industry. During the Civil War, the county played a strategic role due to its location along the rail lines. Cities like Anniston, founded as an industrial hub, fueled growth in the late 19th century.
Cemeteries such as Hillside Cemetery and Edgemont Cemetery preserve the memory of the county’s early pioneers, soldiers, and civic leaders.
