Clifford Hill Cemetery was created in 1948 by members of Clifford Hill and surrounding communities in eastern Leon County to provide a final resting place for them and their descendants.
Located at 1674 Clifford Hill Place — off Lonnie Road between Miccosukee Road and U.S. 90 — it reportedly is one of the largest privately black-owned cemeteries in Florida.
Prior to Clifford Hill, black residents had been buried in Hickory Hill and Munree cemeteries, located on or near plantations. However, in 1948, a group of community representatives went to a local black landowner and farmer, Gibb Barnes, to seek land for a cemetery. The group of 110 community members paid $6.50 each to purchase 10 acres of land near the area where Barnes lived.
