Centreville Cemetery predates the town of Centreville, with its earliest known burial, Willie Coleman, dated 1822, and Centreville established in 1823. One half of the cemetery, known as Cooper Cemetery, contains mostly the burials of African Americans, while the other half, known as Four Points Cemetery, contains the burials of whites. Surnames associated with many prominent Centreville families appear among those buried there, including former Probate Judges, Sheriffs, Mayors, merchants, and other community leaders. The most prominent Centreville resident buried there is Dr. Edward Hawthorn Moren (1825-1886), a surgeon in the US Army and then the Confederate Army who also represented Bibb and Perry counties in the state assembly. Moren served as Alabama's 2nd Lieutenant Governor from 1870-1872 during post-Civil War Reconstruction. Owned by the City of Centreville and maintained by the city and volunteers including the Cooper Memorial Cemetery Committee, the cemetery showed the effects of age, neglect, and vandalism by the 21st century but was restored with state grant funds in 2012.
