The Douglas City Cemetery was established on land given to the City of Douglas by W.A Saunders in exchange for not interfering with his application for mining patents. There is no record
that Douglas actually received a deed, and ownership is listed as the Ross Estate. . Previous to the establishment of the Douglas City Cemetery burials were in the Chicken Ridge Cemetery and later in the Evergreen Cemetery. Graves in the Chicken Ridge Cemetery were eventually moved to the Evergreen Cemetery in Juneau. Between 1934 and 1972 some graves were disturbed in the City Cemetery and moved due road construction work on the Douglas Highway.

Records indicate about 275 burials at the City Cemetery however only 52 markers were found in the field work.
