This small rural cemetery is named after the local Eastgate Family and was associated with a church that was located across the road. In 1873 Hezekiah Eastgate sold land (on the east side of concession 4, at Lot 8) for a cemetery and a Primitive Methodist Church. The church was active for only a short period and was eventually torn down in 1912.

The cemetery contains 20 odd headstones and includes that for Hezekiah Eastgate who died on January 9, 1894. Thomas Brough, a settler from Yorkshire was the first person to be interred on March 15, 1875 and James Gourlie, at the age of 80 was the last in 1911. Other common family names include Musgrave and Roach. The Hezekiah Roach headstone identifies the tragic death of three of his children in 2 days from Black Diphtheria. The cemetery has been given a number of names over the years including Methodist, Mount Pleasant Cemetery as well as Eastgate.
