The cemetery, with over 400 known burials, is situation on 1.2 acre lot and located between the Brockway Union Church and the Brockway Fire Hall (both structures share the same parcel of land - GNB PID# 75360081). The property is official owned by the Brockway Development & Rec Association Inc. however previous to the deed transfer in 1978, the property was owned by the Province. The Brockway Union Church was dedicated in 1890. The church was called a "union church" because the community was represented by several denominations such as the Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Congregational, and Plymouth Brethren who all used it. The builders of the church were Robert Vail and Robert Young, sons of two of the original settlers in Brockway. A corner of the lot granted to Solomon Vail was designated for building the church. Susie Vail was the initiator of having the Sunday School room built onto the church in 1952-1957. Brockway is situated 30 km south of the Village of Harvey and just 2.5 km north of the Charlotte-York County line, with Lawrence Station in Charlotte County being 12.5 km from Brockway. The cemetery has been used for generations by families in the area and both sides of the county line, and particularly since there is no cemetery in the community of Lawrence Station.
