Carrollton's early African-American citizens were buried in what is today called the Carrollton Community Cemetery. However, to many African-Americans the cemetery is commonly called the "Black Cemetery". This land was first identified as a cemetery in 1915 when the property was owned by Mr. C.B. Baxley.
Since no burial records were kept in early days, it is unknown when the first person was buried in this cemetery. Descendants of the persons buried here have moved away from Carrollton or have also died. Today, some of the graves are still visible but only a few markers remain.
In the late 1990s, volunteers installed uninscribed white wooden crosses to mark the graves that could be found.
Other persons are buried here but their identity is known only to God May they rest in peace
Dedicated by the Carrollton Volunteers on June 12, 1998
Committee members: Willie Rainwater, Carl Maton, Stan Null and Andy Olivo
