Established in 1949 by the Beth Tzedec Congregation, the cemetery is located next to Park Lawn Cemetery, Westminister Memorial Park and G. Ross Lord Reservoir.[1] The land was once the farmland of Joseph James.
As with most Jewish cemeteries in Toronto, it is located outside of the city core in what was a suburban area, and located in what is now a predominately Jewish neighbourhood.
