Millgrove Cemetery was originally the burying ground for members of Tabor Chapel of the Canadian Wesleyan Methodist New Connexion Church which was immediately south of, and adjacent to, the present southern boundary of the cemetery. In 1848 members of that chapel in concert with their neighbours who were members of the nearby Ryckman Chapel of the Wesleyan Methodist Church and with other neighbours who were members of the Episcopal Methodist Church formally established the cemetery and obtained a deed registered on title for the property. One man from each of these three respective congregations, namely John Angle Cummins, John Warren Ryckman, and John Keen Crooker, became the charter trustees of what they called the Board of "The Grove Free Burying Ground" and later became known as the Board of "Millgrove Cemetery". That board and its successors has been in continuous control and ownership of the cemetery for over 170 years.
"The cemetery has operated and expanded through the generous donations from members of the public. It was never a municipal cemetery. It was never controlled by, nor owned by, any municipality or township council or county council or any regional council or government. It should also be noted that Millgrove Cemetery is not owned by, nor controlled by, any church or religious organization.
"The cemetery is still open for burials.
