This cemetery in the Rural Municipality of Rockwood was established on land donated to the St. Cyprian Anglican Parish in 1880.
A monument erected in the cemetery in 2001 commemorates pioneers of this area, who arrived here from Dundas, Ontario around 1873. They were served by a post office at Greenwood, as of 1875, and from 1879 to 1906 by the Foxton Post Office at SE15-16-2E. The monument also commemorates the Dundas School District.
