David Johnston, of Lithgow, donated land for the cemetery in 1806 and burials began shortly thereafter. The oldest surviving marker dates back to 1811. The cemetery has expanded over the years due to generous donations of additional land and it is now approximately six acres in size.

Many locally important individuals from Lithgow and Millbrook have been buried there. Among those buried in the cemetery are forty-nine military veterans, the earliest of whom served in the American Revolutionary War. The cemetery provides an important genealogical, social and biographical record of the hamlet of Lithgow and of the broader community. You need not be a member of St. Peter's to be buried in the cemetery.
