The Columbia Cemetery was established in 1899 on 10 acres in the Happy Valley. Designed by City Engineer Harry Smith, the layout was generally followed for over 70 years, with the last recorded burial in 1971. The cemetery was officially registered with the province as closed in July of 1985.
After some years of sporadic maintenance, in the 1980s a four-year program by the City began restoration, and in 2009 the Rossland Heritage Commission adopted the cemetery as a project, improving the signage and mapping. Better access was established through the Mountain View Cemetery, replacing the original access from Park Street and Happy Valley Road. Columbia Cemetery is now a registered historic site.
