A. W. Perry Cemetery West of the intersection of Sherwood Drive and Perry Road. This first Carrollton cemetery was opened with the burial of Mrs. A. W. Perry in 1896. Most of the 482 graves in this site are for pioneer families. Purchased in 1861, the wood from this property was used by the Elkanah Bramblitt family for over 122 years to provide shelter and fuel for cooking and heat. The Square's formation began prior to 1900, with buildings erected that cultivated commerce and created the first downtown Carrollton.
