This is one of the oldest cemeteries in continuous use in Jackson County. The first recorded burial occurred ca. 1836 on land owned by Aquilla Lobb which was situated along a historic immigrant trail. The stacked-stone wall that lines the northeast and west side is believed to have been constructed by slaves ca. 1844. The cemetery now covers approximately five acres and is maintained by the Lobb Cemetery Association. Designated in 2001 based on significance for association with the settlement of the Lobb Community in eastern Jackson County during the period of westward migration, and up through the Civil War.
