When Sunset Hill began in 1868, the cemetery contained 13 acres, was in somewhat of a rectangular shape, but had small projections in the northeast corner and at the entrance. Nearly 200 graves were moved in from the old cemetery located off of Gay Street and lots were sold for ten dollars apiece. Sunset Hill was given to the city by its previous owner W. G. Colbern in 1880. At one point in time, goats were brought in for cemetery upkeep. Over the years, numerous expansions have taken place bringing Sunset Hill up to the massive 60 acres now viewed by visitors. In the back west, 13 more acres of wooded property is owned by Sunset Hill which will allow the cemetery to expand and meet the needs of future generations.
