Aline Star Cemetery | Memorializing Alfalfa County Settlers Before Oklahoma Statehood

The entry way to Aline Star Cemetery is marked with a sign dating its name and 1975 founding.
Visitors will find the entryway to Aline Star Cemetery along State Highway 8B, about a half-mile east of Aline, Oklahoma.

Just east of Eagle Chief Creek, one of Cherokee Strip Outlet's first pioneers was laid to rest in 1903 in what is now known as Aline Star Cemetery. The cemetery's first plot was dug nearly four years before Alfalfa County and the State of Oklahoma were established, and the cemetery, founded on June 3 of the same year, has grown to accommodate more than 1,100 residents who contributed to the settlement and growth of present-day Alfalfa County.


Aline Star Cemetery Address: 56452 OK-8B, Aline, OK 73716
