The location of the cemetery was originally jungle and then later farmland. It was even originally called Monkey Hill (Colina de Monos) Cemetery because of the many colonies of monkeys populating the trees on the hill before the land was further developed.
There are many ancient graves there especially of the Silver Roll employees (mostly black West Indian) and their families who helped to build and operate the Canal throughout its more than 100 year history. Included in some of these ancient burials are also many Jamaicans and other West Indians who worked and died building the Panama Railroad.
Many of the American burials here were moved in 1979 to Corozal American Cemetery.
