San Gabriel Cemetery became a reality in 1919 when a number of residents held a meeting to develop a cemetery under the name of a Mexican corporation on July 20, 1933. The 2.4 acres purchased from T.B. Winston at the cost of $128.00 was named San Gabriel Cemetery. This effort was spearheaded by Jim Cortez, President; Rito Aguillon, Vice President; Victor Montemayor, Secretary; and Apolino Ramirez, Collector. The San Gabriel Cemetery Association was created through the Fort Bend County System in August 1998. We wish to recognize the founders of San Gabriel Cemetery for their foresight of the future needs of the Hispanic community in Fort Bend County, Texas and the surrounding areas. The cemetery has since grown to 3.9 acres in size, is triangular in shape, and contains over 1,900 burials. The date of the earliest burial is 1911. This is a predominately Hispanic cemetery.
