According to an article published in the Honey Grove Signal-Citizen (16 Jan 1987), this cemetery was named for James G. Bourland a colorful Texas Pioneer who's father, Benjamin Bourland appears to have been the first person buried here. Since James died and was buried in Orleana Cemetery in Cooke County, Texas it seem more likely the cemetery was named for his father.
