This churchyard burial ground grew up around a congregation first gathered in 1856 as Union Hill Church, which took the name Cedar Rock Church two years later in 1858. The name is traced to a granite outcropping just north of the church, where cedar trees had taken root in the sparse soil collected on the rock. The cemetery sits in the churchyard along Highway 36 north of Jackson.
