According to Boerne City Council meeting minutes from October 7, 1867, Adam Vogt, for the sum of $1, deeded to the city one acre and 4.357 varas of land on the San Antonio-Fredericksburg Road (now School Street) to be used as a cemetery.
On January 28, 1867, a notice was sent to the community members who had committed themselves to pay $2 for a space nine feet by 4.5 feet for reserved family graves. It stated that they must pay this money by the end of April, 1867, so that the land could be surveyed and fenced. The city has added land to the original cemetery from time to time as needed.
