Scott Cemetery was established on the land of area pioneer James Preston Scott and dates to the 1850s. The first person buried there was Scott's granddaughter, Mary C. Taylor, who lived from 1852 to 1854 and was the child of Scott's daughter Tabitha and her husband A.J. Taylor. Of the over 200 burials there, at least 30 are unmarked, including those of two family slaves, Jake and Rhoda, buried in the northwest corner of the graveyard. The cemetery serves the Bloomdale and surrounding rural communities. James Scott, who died while serving in the Texas Legislature, was buried there in 1858.
