This cemetery was located in the part of Southeast DC known as Hillsdale in the 1870s and '80s. The land, about seven acres in size, was owned by Jacob Moore, a free-born Black man from Piscataway, Prince George's County, Maryland, and the cemetery was known as Jake Moore's Cemetery (and just Moore's Cemetery) before it was called Rosemont Cemetery in the 1920s. Jacob Moore died in Hillsdale on October 17, 1901, and was buried in his cemetery on October 20, 1901.
