Arwine Cemetery is one of the oldest landmarks in Hurst. Named for Daniel Arwine, a local community pioneer and extensive early landowner in the Hurst area, the cemetery is the resting place of many of the area's early settlers and their descendants: Arwine, Souder, Sexton, Hackney, Robertson, Anderson, Reeves, and Hurst among others.

Until 1912, Hurst was known as the Arwine Settlement. On June 23, 1879, Daniel Arwine deeded 6 acres for school, church, and cemetery purposes. Those 6 acres became home to a 600-plot cemetery and the Red Sulpher Springs School, which was later known as the Arwine School and also served as a community church. The one-room frame building was left unused when other area schools and churches were established, and tabernacle was erected in its place to serve as shelter for cemetery groundskeepers. No physical evidence of these structures exists today, but the 279 graves in the cemetery are still maintained by the Arwine Cemetery Association, which was established and given the deed to the cemetery plot in 1975. In 1977, Arwine Cemetery was granted a Texas State Historical Marker by the Texas Historical Commission.
