Oakwood Cemetery began with the burial of the stillborn son of Dolphin William Bint and his wife under an oak tree in the family’s pasture after Bint came from England to the United States in 1876 and settled in Eastland County’s Red Gap community. After the Bints relocated to Delmar, now Dothan, and their property was sold to the railway survey, part of the land was later donated to the cemetery in 1910. The first Cisco Cemetery Association was organized in 1899 to care for the cemetery, and shortly after receiving its charter in 1900, members raised funds to enclose the grounds, erect gates, plant vegetation, and identify unmarked graves. Ten acres were added in 1931 and more land again in 1964 from the Cisco Independent School District. During the height of the Works Progress Administration, a 2,517-foot rock wall was erected on three sides, and the cemetery came to feature a prominent rock archway at the southeast entrance. Its traditional landscape includes granite, limestone, marble, and sandstone grave markers and a variety of natural vegetation. Oakwood Cemetery contains over 7,000 graves, including more than six hundred veterans of the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The Cisco Cemetery Association organized in 1976 to establish a trust fund, provide care for the cemetery, and serve the community of Cisco.
