History

This burial ground contains the remains of many of Santa Maria's pioneer families. Completed in 1881, the I.O.O.F. and F&A.M. cemetery replaced the city's original Thornburg-Jones cemetery, established in 1872. Removal of all remains to the new I.O.O.F. and F&A.M. cemetery was completed by 1886. In August 1917, the Santa Maria Cemetery District was created, and the cemetery was renamed the Santa Maria Cemetery District. Many citizens of the Santa Maria Valley are interred at this location.
