The Saint Louis Cemetery performed its first services in 1811 behind the Saint Louis Church at 10th and Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky.

In 1831, the Saint Louis Church and the gravesites were moved to the Catholic section of the Western Cemetery.

The graves were moved again in 1867 when the Saint Louis Cemetery was established.

It was laid out by local designer Benjamin Grove.
