The cemetery was laid out after 1827, when the division occurred in the Society of Friends splitting them into Hicksite and Orthodox denominations. The Orthodox Friends erected a meetinghouse on the road from Toughkenamon to Newark, opposite the old New Garden Meeting, where they met until the early 20th century.

The meetinghouse itself was sold in 1938 and is now a private residence. The graveyard, surrounded by a low wall and fence, is still under the custody of the New Garden Friends Meeting.
