This is one of the largest historic cemeteries in Volusia County, Florida, with more than 15,000 grave sites. Established in 1882, and named Sylvan Park, the cemetery was expanded and renamed in 1892. The new owners, the "Women's City Improvement and Protection Association of Deland, Florida," raised $200 to purchase the property for the town cemetery. It is the final resting place for many of the town's founding members and notable figures.
