The Pleasant Valley Cemetery is operated and maintained by the City of Vernon. Originally, the cemetery was known as "Vernon Cemetery" or "Vernon Municipal Cemetery".

In 1901, the Vernon City Council began discussions regarding the necessity of a new cemetery in Vernon. A Vernon News article at the time states, "The necessity of a new site has long been so apparent as to require little comment. The present cemetery is very nearly filled up, and both by nature of situation, surroundings and soil is entirely unsuited for such purposes".

In March of 1902, the new cemetery site was purchased. It totaled 8 acres and was purchased from C.F. Costerton at cost of $400.

The cemetery is comprised of two main sections: Evergreen and Maple and further divided into blocks, rows and plots. The cemetery currently contains approximately 17,000 interments. A variety of style in markers and marker composition can be found in the cemetery.
