This cemetery is located on Route 6A and Millway Road in Barnstable, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Until 1759, it was known as Goodspeed Cemetery and has also been known as Universalist Cemetery.
Cobb's Hill Cemetery is a very old grave yard with burials from the American Revolutionary era.Total size of the cemetery stands at 0.75 acres.
Cobb's Hill is named for the Cobb family, one of the first families that settled in Barnstable. The cemetery came as a result of building a church on Cobb's Hill in 1717, as part of a newer, second parish congregation. Burials began taking place here, even before the church was erected, because parishioners urging for the new parish felt unified in their belief that Cobb's Hill was the location for their new spiritual home.
The earliest known burial here took place in 1715.
