Darrouzett began in 1917 as a station along the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway. First named Lourwood, the settlement was renamed by the rail company in honor of Galveston-area legislator and attorney J.L. Darrouzett. When the town incorporated in 1920, the year the rail line was completed, more than 400 people lived there and supported several businesses, a school, two churches, and a post office. Early residents used family cemeteries and graveyards in other communities for burials. In 1939, Anna Frass and her family deeded several acres to the trustees of the newly formed Darrouzett Cemetery Association. She moved the graves of her late husband, Henry Frass, who died in 1932, and granddaughter Esther Lee Frass, who died in 1926, from Lipscomb to this cemetery, and other families also reinterred loved ones there. The first burial in the cemetery was David Rush in January 1939. A local farmer and businessman, Rush is one of numerous military veterans buried there, including two men killed in action in Vietnam. The graves recall individuals who contributed to Darrouzett's history.
