The land is associated with the Doan, Steele, Knisley and Michener families, some of the first settlers in Humberstone Township. It is part of the original Crown patent awarded to United Empire Loyalist Aaron Doan on May 17, 1802.
Doan allotted a portion of this property for his family burying ground. In 1849 Aaron's son Timothy Doan, deeded 0.4 hectares (one acre) to Christian Knisley for a burying ground. In 1864, Aaron's grandson Aaron Doan deeded eight parcels of land to William Michener for a burying ground. On the same day in 1864 Aaron's grandson Aaron deeded a portion of the surrounding land to Matthias Steele. The division of the cemetery was clearly defined in the deed which conveyed the surrounding land to Matthias Steele.
Steele's Cemetery is rectangular in shape, 45 metres (150 feet) by 30.9 metres (103 feet), containing the Aaron Doan, Christian Knisley and William Michener family burying grounds. The first known burials would have been those of Aaron Doan's children, Seth and Polly.
The cemetery features many original grave markers dating back to before 1844.
