The municipally owned Bryan City Cemetery was established on June 13, 1868, with the purchase of 20 acres of land for $100.00 from J. C. Hubert, in what was then the northern outskirts of the City of Bryan. In keeping pace with the growth of Bryan, additional acreage has been purchased from time to time and presently the tract has increased to almost 67 acres, 18.5 of which was purchased from the American Legion Post.
