During the nineteenth century, there was an increasing pressure to recognise the burial needs of denominations other than Catholic and Anglican Churches, which each had their own cemeteries. Accordingly, on 7th July 1880, the Ōtāhuhu Public Cemetery was laid out on the three acres opposite the Anglican cemetery in Luke Street.

The Ōtāhuhu Road Board administered the Public Cemetery from 1st August 1894 to 1912. By the 1890's Anglicans and Catholics from the Ōtāhuhu area were being buried in the Public Cemetery. The Ōtāhuhu Borough Council administered the Public Cemetery from 1912 to 1989, when it joined the new Auckland City. The cemetery is now closed for burials except for reserved plots and ash burials. Burial records are kept by Auckland City Council.
