Bagdad Cemetery opened in 1857 with the burial of 3-year-old John Babcock, whose father Charles later gave the tract to the community. Other early burials included Civil War veteran John Haile and Col. C. C. Mason. Leander, founded in 1882 when the railroad bypassed Bagdad, shares use of this tract, which was enlarged in 1959 and 1966.
