It was the first, and only, cemetery for Hispanics in Wharton, Texas, with burials dating back from the early 1920's. The last burial is dated 1973. After 1973, most people were buried in the new cemetery, which is called Evergreen. If you are traveling from Houston, travel US 59 South towards Victoria. Take the Wharton exit. (52.9 miles). Make a left after you exit and go into Wharton. Make a left onto Boling Highway (3.7 miles). When you get to Alabama Road, make a right, then make another right on Alabama Street. Hispanic cemetery is the first cemetery immediately to your left. If you do not see your ancestor's name on here and you know he/she lived in Wharton, Texas, bear in mind that there are many lost burial sites between the years 1920's and 1930's. As such, there are many sites with no headstones during this time period. In addition, there were many headstones that we could not identify because the headstones was unreadable. This information was compiled on October 27, 2001, by Andrew Robles, a descendent of Ramon Alcorta, and Christina Robles, who descends from Ramon Alcorta, Pedro Aguilar, and Jesus Cisneros. This census was compiled by transcribing the information off of the tombstones. To all those Hispanics who worked many hours in the cotton fields of Wharton County, and to all those Hispanics who lived in Wharton, Texas between the years 1880 through 1973, this census is dedicated to you. May you rest in peace......... ADULTS - This section starts in rows from the back (right) of the cemetery and ends at the front entrance gate. This is the older section.

The layout of the cemetery is somewhat tricky. If you are facing the cemetery (entrance), infants and children with burial sites from the early 1920's through the 1930's, are buried at the back end of the cemetery on the left, and the adults are buried on the right. The deceased are buried in rows, starting from the back of the cemetery, in accordance with the date of their death. Then around the 1950's, because of lack of space, adults and children, were then buried on the left side of the cemetery. In other words, the left front will consist of adults and children buried from the 1950's until the last burial site that occurred in 1973.
