King Cemetery resides in Northampton, Fulton County, New York. Burials with stones/markers intact date from the 1800s; however, there were earlier burials recorded in the cemetery. King Cemetery is still active.
The original cemetery began with land which Henry King and son, John King settled and were eventually buried in. The cemetery contains several graves of those who fought in the Revolutionary War and those Pioneers who settled the area.

In preparation for the construction of the Sacandaga Reservoir in 1930, three local cemeteries were merged into King Cemetery; their residents moved and reinterred into King. The original King Cemetery was located in the first section; Cranberry Creek Cemetery was relocated to the "K" section; Denton's Corners (Osborn's Bridge Cemetery) residents were allocated the "L" section; and Chamber's Family Plot members were placed in section "M".
