Planning for a new cemetery for Amsterdam began in 1907. The cemetery was opened in 1914 when the older Jewish Cemetery in Zeeburg reached its limit. In 1925 the site was split for the construction of a railway line. Field A is the eastern field, in use from 1914-1927. West of the train line are fields B, C and D, in use from 1928.

Unusual for a Jewish cemetery, Field U contains 400 buried urns, holding the cremated remains of 529 Nazi victims from Westerbork.

In 1958, 28,000 graves from the Jewish Cemetery in Zeeburg were relocated to Diemen. The transfer took two years. These graves are located in three fields (all called Field Z). A memorial marker explains the origin of Field Z.
