Springlake Cemetery

Springlake Cemetery served the original residents of the Springlake Community. The area was opened for settlement in 1908 by the George C. Wright Land Company and was named for the nearby Springlake Ranch. D. B. Shiplet donated the first two acres for the cemetery, and the first burial took place in 1909. Of the 356 known graves, five are unmarked. The community of Springlake was relocated in 1935, 4.75 miles southeast. The town once had a hotel, supply store, school, and post office, but only the cemetery remains at the original site.
