The South Burying Ground was utilized by families on the south end of Tewksbury as the community cemetery in the 18th century. The early cemetery was improved c.1860 and expanded in 1862 when additional lots were laid out and sold. It was improved again c.1886 when the burying ground was enclosed with a stone wall. Steps and openings in the wall provide access to the cemetery from Shawsheen Street.

The cemetery sits on 2 acres. There are approximately 112 headstones. The earliest death date in 1714, the latest 1949.

The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as TEW.805 South Burial Grounds - South Tewksbury Cemetery.

This cemetery is referred to as GR3 South Tewksbury Cemetery in the "Vital Records of Tewksbury Massachusetts to the end of the year 1849."
