Oakland Memorial Park Story
Oakland has been a haven of history, tradition and peace for almost 2 centuries since Terrell's establishment in Texas. To stroll down the main avenue is to see the ancestors of today's civic leaders as well as citizens who made a difference in Terrell's daily life. Being centered on the main road of a growing city gives everyone, residents and visitors alike, the comfort of seeing our exciting future exist alongside our cherished past!
Stepping onto the hallowed grounds of Oakland can transport you to the rich past of Terrell's beginnings as well as remind you of Terrell's long heritage. The recognizable names on historic monuments are a testament to the legacy of a growing, thriving community based on our ancestors' dreams and visions.

Several historical and contemporary interments are here at Oakland. The memorial park has a dedicated site for the British Flying Training School soldiers who lost thier lives during training exercises for WWII. Also, there are several men and women of Terrell who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our great country and they are also laid to rest here. Additionally, the pioneers of Terrell are at rest alongside many citizens, each of whom gave their tireless devotion, skills, and vision to building this city into what it is today.
