The cemetery was opened in 1898 and was initially administered by a Board of Trustees. In the early 1920s, due to unsatisfactory management and record keeping, the administration was moved to the Waitemata County Council who became the Waitemata City Council. With the formation of the Auckland super city in 2010, the administration transferred to the Auckland City Council.
The earliest death date recorded is 20 December 1897 (James Smith) and the cemetery is still in use today.
The Auckland Council have online burial and cremation records available at https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/cemeteries/Pages/find-burial-cremation.aspx. The database is extensive but not complete. The council are transcribing old records to this database and there are occasional typo errors. Due to poor record keeping for early burials, some records are not entered until headstones are surveyed.
