Middletown Cemetery

Middletown Cemetery is approximately 1.6 acres and has 677 recorded plots. The cemetery is no longer active and the last burial was in 1998. It is believed the Middletown Cemetery was established by 1856, with its first burial believed to have occurred in the same year.

Until 1871, the Middletown and Placerville City Cemeteries were used as the primary public cemeteries for residents not buried in the church cemeteries of Placerville. The Placerville Union Cemetery was established by several major fraternal organizations in 1871.

After the 1880’s Middletown Cemetery was used less frequently. The property was deeded to El Dorado County in 1934. After the County Hospital Cemetery was closed, the indigent burials were placed here.
