The Springdale Presbyterian Church acquired 2 ½ acres in 1801 at the current intersection of Route 4 and Cameron Rd. The purpose of the purchase was to construct a church and cemetery. In 1833, although the church moved to a different location, the cemetery remained at this location. In 1987, the Springdale Presbyterian Church transferred the ownership of the property to the City of Springdale. The cemetery had fallen into disrepair and neglect, since the church did not have the funds to properly maintain it.

The city began a long restoration process, often bringing in Scouts to help clean and restore the site. The Public Works Department employees repaired and reset many stones. Although the cemetery is small in comparison it is the final resting place for (9) Revolutionary War veterans, (12) Civil War veterans, and (1) World War I veteran.
