NOTE: The last burial in this cemetery was in 1941, and the City of Arab has not permitted new burials in this small cemetery since then. While there was a time decades ago that this cemetery was called "Arab City Cemetery," the only city-owned cemetery in Arab that accepts new burials at this time is known as "Arab Memorial Cemetery."

The City of Arab spent a year restoring and improving this historic cemetery, completing the work in Summer 2010. A new powder-coated wrought iron fence has replaced the dilapidated chain-link fence surrounding the graveyard. The fence was funded by donations from citizens and organizations; commemorative plaques are placed on the section of the fence each donor funded.

The city added a new entrance gate with lamp posts, night time lighting, and spotlights for the United States flag.

The cemetery is located at the intersection of Main Street (US Hwy 69) and Shoal Creek Trail, directly behind a former restaurant building.
