Oaklawn is one of three public cemeteries owned and operated by the City of Fort Valley, alongside the nearby Goodwill and Willow Lake grounds. Locals often refer to it simply as the City Cemetery, a reflection of its long-standing role as the town's principal municipal burial place. With more than 6,400 recorded interments, it is by far the largest of the three city-managed cemeteries and holds generations of Fort Valley families.
