Bayboro Cemetery is a segregated African-American cemetery established around 1840 in the historic town of Bayboro. The cemetery remains active.
The location of African-American graves was identified in a field audio recording by Thomas A. Adler in the Collection "South-Central Georgia Folklife Project" on July 27, 1977. Later the burial ground was cleared and reclaimed, designated as "Bayboro Cemetery."
A lumber mill and turpentine operation spawned the town of Bayboro. The city died after the lumber mill closed after depleting the timber.
Bayboro no longer exists; therefore, the cemetery is now the city of Norman Park, Georgia, on County Road 281 between Buck Creek Church just east of Ellenton, Georgia.
