The Cane Hill area was settled in the late 1820s. The cemetery contains the graves of two of its first settlers, Thomas Garvin (d. 1834) and Thomas Buchanan (d. 1836), and is the site of the community's first church and schoolhouse.[2] The Cane Hill area was the site of the Battle of Cane Hill, a running battle fought a few days before the Battle of Prairie Grove in November 1862. James G. Blunt and his Union troops captured approximately 2,000 Confederate soldiers in November 1862. The cemetery contains many Civil War-era burials.
