Established in 1916 on the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway, Wolfforth had a post office and railroad depot by the 1920s. In 1927, 2.45 acres west of the platted town was designated for a community cemetery, and burial lots were provided free of charge for local residents. Infant Ruby Hazel Fulfer was the first burial, and her grave is unmarked. The earliest gravestone is for infant Billy Lois Sims, who also died in 1927. By the 1950s, plots were sold for a small fee to establish maintenance funds. A mix of native flora enhances the grounds, and the city, the Lions Club, and a cemetery association helped with upkeep and improvements over the years. Wolfforth Cemetery continues to provide a source of comfort and rest for loved ones of this community.
