E.C. Tate (1832-1885) came from Georgia to settle this land about 1872. He formed the Tate Springs Community here and helped organize the Tate Springs Church in 1882. Tate was buried at this site, and by 1894 three of his children also had been laid to rest here. In that year Tate's son Robert designated the burials and one acre as the community cemetery. Robert Tate's later grave is recorded but unmarked, as are some 35 other burials. Most graves belong to members of the Tate family and the old community. In 1965 funds were raised for a perimeter fence and entry arch.
