Mogo Cemetery dates from the earliest period of settlement of the Broulee area following the demise of the Broulee town settlement. It has regional historic significance for providing records of the families who have settled in the local area for nearly 140 years and for its unique role as a children's burial ground for forty years until 1897, when the adult Mogo community were no longer buried only at Moruya. Socially it has high-level local significance to the Mogo area descendants of those buried there for its special cultural and educational values and association. It has local scientific significance for its potential to contribute to an understanding about the change in methods of burial since the mid19th century.
