Reclamation and Historical marker
Founded in 1940 to be the burial place of African American residents of Clearwater, the cemetery comprised 1.5 acres (0.61 ha). In 1954, to make room for additional school buildings and a city pool, approximately 375 graves were moved from the site. Residents had suspected that not all of the graves had been moved. The City of Clearwater partnered with archeologists and historians in 2021. Their work revealed that 29 graves remained, containing human remains.
A historical marker was placed on the site in December 2022.
