The Texas Historical Marker gives the history of the cemetery.
"In 1882, William and Cassandra Hunt Harvey donated land to the farming community of Blackland to be used for a school, church and cemetery. The newly created cemetery was combined with the George V. Bost family cemetery, which contains the burial ground's oldest marked grave, dating to 1879. Blackland Cemetery graves include those of veterans of military conflicts dating to the Civil War and features fraternal markers, a zinc obelisk and older, vertical stones. Today, the cemetery serves as a reminder of former residents of the Blackland settlement."
