Rocky Mount Cemetery was established on sacred ground for families who settled Cobb’s Ford and the surrounding area, and its oldest marked burials date to the 1890s. Numerous veterans of the Civil War and World Wars I and II are buried there. Rocky Mount Church originally stood in front of the cemetery. On December 4, 1826, Littleton Reese deeded land there for a church to promote religion and learning, and the trustees of Rocky Mount Church were Peyton Bibb, Littleton Reese, Jacob Whetstone, William Hall, and Dixon Hall. Mr. Neil Blue instructed Col. Bolling Hall, Dr. S. P. Smith, and Albert J. Pickett, a noted Alabama historian, at Rocky Mount. In the early 1820s, the Methodist Protestant Church organized Union Societies across the United States to promote a more representative form of church governance, and in November 1827 a Union Society was organized at Rocky Mount and was of considerable strength. By 1906, the original church had been torn down and a second one rebuilt around the same time. In 1951, the Rocky Mount congregation merged with the First Methodist Church in Prattville, AL, and Rocky Mount Church was torn down in the 1960s.
