Greensborough Cemetery was created in 1874 out of necessity due in part to the harsh conditions experienced by pioneers of the township.
William Poulter Snr owner of land along the Plenty River donated an allotment on the corner of James Street (now Jessop) and Hailes Street for the cemetery and a small church was constructed opposite the cemetery where the train line now runs.
There were 17 people buried in the cemetery prior to the records being formally started in 1874, the earliest in 1861. The most recent burial was in July 1963 although ashes have been interred here since.
There are approximately 350 persons buried in the cemetery according to records held by Banyule City Council.
