The Gower Cemetery east of Edmond is the final resting place for an estimated 200 individuals. Primarily African Americans settled in this area during Oklahoma’s 1889 Land Run. Once there was a school and a church, but they have since disappeared into history. The cemetery was founded by John and Ophelia Gower, and three generations of their family.
Located east of Interstate 35 on Covell Road between Douglas and Post Roads, the cemetery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
