The cemetery was established in 1859 by the Hebrew Society of Brotherly Love. The society originally bought land for a cemetery along the St. Joseph River near Niles Avenue. In 1883, the land for the Rose Hill Cemetery was purchased, and the graves were moved to the new site.


The cemetery was located in South Bend in Portage Township (W half of the SW quadrant of the SE quadrant of Section 1 Township 37N Range 2E) on the west side of N Niles Avenue about 250 feet north of its intersection with N Cedar Street.
