Elm Ridge Cemetery is located on the east-side of Route 27, near the Six Mile Run 11.5 mile marker, in North Brunswick, New Jersey. It's an historic cemetery of both the Colonial period (18th-century) and the Victorian period (19th-century).



Prior to 1868, the cemetery was an informal burial ground on the farm of John Van Cleef. It was located near Six Mile Run, a small stream that crossed historic King's Highway (now Route 27) in the historic community of Six Mile Run. The cemetery was associated with the Church at Six Mile Run which was located there from 1710 to 1766. In 1766, the church moved to its present location approximately one mile south of the cemetery.



The Elm Ridge Cemetery Company was formed in 1868 by an act of the State of New Jersey authorizing the company to purchase an adjoining 5-acre tract, to improve and operate the cemetery, sell burial plots, and be exempt from taxation as long as the land was used as a cemetery. The act also specified that family gravesites in the old cemetery could continue to be used for burial by the respective families.
