It was founded as a Roman Catholic burial ground August 13, 1887 when local rancher John Price sold a piece of sloping hillside to Bishop Francis Mora, Bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles, for $1.00. Between then and the early 1920s many prominent locals were buried here, including John Price and his wife Maria who were laid to rest below two elaborate angel-topped plinths in 1902 and 1912, respectively. The last St. Patrick's burial was in 1981. Over the years, even the elaborate Price monument has greatly deteriorated and other graves with simpler stone and wooden markers have disappeared completely due to weather and vandalism.
Restoration efforts by civic organizations have come and gone. Local genealogists used the "Record of Internment" to create the following memorials and the grave photographs show all the remaining tombstones and markers; no other graves can be specifically identified.
