City Cemetery, also known as the Sandersville Old City Cemetery, is located in Sandersville, Georgia. Old City Cemetery began as the cemetery of the local Methodist Episcopal Church.
Eventually the cemetery expanded to its current 5.5 acres (2.2 ha) which is surrounded by West Church Street to the South, West Haynes Street to the North, Virginia Avenue to the East, and private property to the West.
Thomas W. Hardwick, a former U.S. senator who later became Georgia's governor, was buried in the cemetery after his death in 1944.
