Mount Olivet Cemetery is a cemetery in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States.

It was established on May 16, 1874, by an act of the U.S. Congress[1] which granted 20 acres of land for public use as a cemetery.

The first use of the cemetery was in 1877.

The cemetery land originally consisted of exactly 20 acres and was part of the U.S. Army's Camp Douglas military reservation.

[2] Since that time, the allotment has been expanded and contracted; the present cemetery is approximately 80 acres.
