Rocklin Cemetery's earliest burials date back to the Gold Rush era of the 1850's; miners worked the Secret Ravine area (across Hwy 80) which is in close proximity to the burial grounds. In the early years the cemetery's land was state owned. In 1889 the burial grounds were granted to the Masons and Oddfellows Lodge, and then forty years later in 1929 the grounds became part of a public cemetery district in Placer County. There have been approximately 4,500 recorded burials at the cemetery since the 1850's. The names of the older tombstones reflect the waves of immigration from Ireland, Finland, England, Japan (and other countries) who came to California to work in the gold mines, quarry the large quantity of granite, work on the railroad, and ranch and farm the fertile lands in Placer County.
