History

The Old Maclean Cemetery extends along Cameron St which forms the southern entry into Maclean, and contains historically significant evidence of early settlers and the subsequent development of the town. The cemetery has been in use since 1871 and burials still take place where plots have been reserved. The dedication of the cemetery took place on 15th August 1871 after Alexander Cameron wrote to the Minister for Lands requesting a cemetery.

The earliest recorded burial is John Ross in 1863.
