The St. Anthony's Catholic Section began when in 1924, Reverend J. Canales of the St. Anthony's Church in Robstown received 5.0 acres of land for a cemetery from the Dunlap family. In the 1960's the Church exchanged part of this tract to the Robstown Cemetery Association for Section L which is located on the east side of U. S. Highway #77. In 1970 St. Anthony's Catholic Church started a new perpetual-care section, with all of the markers bronze and horizontal. Approximately 2025 people were determined to have been buried in both the old and new sections of St. Anthony's. The earliest birthdate found on a tombstone in this section was in 1856, and the earliest death date found was 1921.
