We are pleased to announce that Orion Baptist Church Cemetery has been added to the Alabama Historic Cemetery Register! The Alabama Historical Commission considers historic cemeteries particularly worthy of preservation and appreciation. The Alabama Historic Cemetery Register is a prestigious listing of historic cemeteries in Alabama.
There are currently 31 cemeteries in Pike County listed on the Alabama Historic Cemetery Register.
Orion was settled about 1810, about 9 years before Alabama became a state. By 1830, wealthy planters began arriving, and Orion was a booming town.
The Orion Baptist Church was organized in 1828, and the first known burial was Sophronia P. Anderson in 1834.
