Barnard's Trading Post #2, called Barnardville, was an early Anglo settlement and trading post where people traded with the Comanche, Kichai, Tawakoni, Waco, and Wichita, who had long occupied the area. Anglos later built the settlements of Fort Spunky and George's Creek, and by 1854 a small community had formed. In 1870, Thomas Taylor conveyed seven acres for a school house, meeting house, and burial ground to the trustees of George's Creek Cemetery, James E. Norton, Thomas Taylor, and Elias Underwood. The meeting house and school house were built where the cemetery's Section E now stands, then were moved west of the creek during an effort to move the town in the early 1900s. By 1901, the cemetery contained 338 graves, and in 1911 J.H. Allison deeded four acres containing the tabernacle to the trustees; another four acres were later donated. The oldest marked grave is that of Sara Olive Berry, who died in 1862, and the cemetery has at least 208 unmarked graves. Burials include Civil War veterans and victims of the 1918 Epidemic. The tabernacle was built in 1909 by the George's Creek Baptist Church, which held services, revivals, and camp meetings there until 1915. The community's population began to decline in the 1920s, and the post office ceased operations in 1939. Active burials and community gatherings still occur, and after burial privileges remained open to anyone until 1979, they were later restricted to direct descendants and their families. George's Creek Cemetery remains a link to the early Anglo pioneer settlements and the burial place of many settlers and their descendants.
