History
The cemetery was originally planned and operated by committee appointed by the residents of Hindmarsh. A report in The Observer of 30 May 1846 noted that 2 acres were set aside for a cemetery, although the first burial occurred in the preceding month.[2]
Control of the cemetery effectively passed to the Hindmarsh Council, with the first Cemetery Committee on 2 March 1927.[2]

The first burial was of Edward Hughes of Hindmarsh on 21 April 1846.[2]
