Since the late 1800's the deceased loved ones of Englewood's pioneer settlers have been laid to rest on this high sandy ridge. The land for the cemetery was deeded to the citizens of the Lemon Bay area, by means of trustees, by John H. and Florence V. Hill on May 10th, 1900.

The first Board of Trustees were:

John W. Green,

W. H. (Capt. Hamp) Lampp,

William B. Pope,

Daniel W. Gallop,

Ferdinand Gottfried

A Perpetual Care Committee was established on December 13th, 1982.
