The cemetery was established in 1928 by the Trail Knights of Pythias for use by their members.
Once opened for use by the general public the name was informally changed from Knights of Pythias Cemetery to Columbia Riverview Cemetery, although the cemetery society was not incorporated with the province until 1988.
The cemetery is well-maintained and still in active use today. There are approximately 360 interments. There are not any upright headstones for easier maintenance by the City of Trail.
We located three centenarians during our visit to the cemetery.
