The cemetery was founded on May 27, 1889, by the Beech Grove Cemetery Association as a rural cemetery for African Americans.

The cemetery is in poor shape despite multiple community efforts over the years to improve the conditions at the cemetery.

The cemetery is located in Springfield Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, and is # 4718 in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 1037795 (Beech Grove Cemetery).

Springfield Township now maintains Beech Grove Cemetery. The township hired a company to map where each person is buried, using GIS technology. https://app.cerkl.com/org/story.php?id=5334592 Now, relatives can search on Springfield Township's website to locate a grave, view the photograph of the headstone and locate the site on a map. The website map is color coded: green for a headstone, blue is the designation for military, and purple is the location of an individual without a headstone. At this time, only one section of the cemetery has been mapped with the unmarked graves. https://www.springfieldtwp.org/417/Cemeteries
