Established in 1874, the Saint Louis Roman Catholic Cemetery originally had its own entry gates and was for many years completely separated from Oaklawn Cemetery, by an iron fence. Most of this fence was removed in the 1950s. The five priests, who died in the 1887 Yellow Fever, were buried here along with other prominent citizens. The City of Tampa, the Roman Catholic Diocese of St. Petersburg, and the Tampa Historical Society manage both cemeteries. The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 19, 2017.
