The once-thriving town of Golden Gate began to decline in 1902 when Sleepy Eye Milling purchased and dismantled the local mill. When the railroad chose to bypass Golden Gate, the town's fate was sealed. By 1910, Golden Gate was no longer listed as a town in Minnesota directories.
Over the years, the historic Golden Gate cemetery became abandoned and in dire need of renovation. A historical group was formed in the 1980s to clean up and maintain the cemetery. (Source Minnesota's Lost Towns, Southern Edition, by Rhonda Fochs)
