Jakin City Cemetery sits just inside the town limits, about a block north of the main street connecting U.S. 84 and Georgia 39. The burial ground was established on land donated by G. M. McDaniel and Roy McClellan Sr. sometime before 1920, and J. W. Miller later gave additional acreage to enlarge it. Its graves record several generations of families from this small Early County community in far southwest Georgia.
