Sweeny Cemetery began as a family burial ground in 1833, when John Sweeny, an early landowner and member of Stephen F. Austin's colony, chose this site for the burial of his young daughter Freedonia. It has been used by the neighborhood ever since and contains graves of veterans of all wars since the Texas Revolution.
