Old Fowler Cemetery is one of the many Fowler Cemeteries in Travis County with the name "Fowler Cemetery". There are at least 3 cemeteries that carry the name "Fowler Cemetery" within Travis County and Austin. The old Fowler Cemetery was named after a woman who was Catherine C. Fowler. She was the wife of W T Buck and mother of W T Buck Jr. when she was alive.

The old Fowler Cemetery was plotted in 1875 near Buck Lane & Highway 71 in Del Valle, Texas . Most burials took place here in the 1880s. Several Fowler family members were buried here in the late 19th century and early 20th century. B.R. Fowler was the last person known to be buried at the old Fowler Cemetery. His date of death was July 26, 1920. Infant son of B. R. Fowler was buried here during the same year.

In 1985 this cemetery was all but abandoned. Vegetation such as grass took over along with other natural growth. The cemetery was already abandoned by then. No known alterations or modifications were made to the cemetery.

Austin Genealogical Society had transcribed and transcripted where they did write down the names and dates of these graves for Austin Genealogical Society’s Cemetery Transcription Project during 2003. This information was compiled by volunteers and group members who either transcribed historical records or visited the cemetery.
