This cemetery is attached to the rear of St. James' Anglican Church which is located at 148 Rue Jacques Cartier Nord in the Vieux-Saint-Jean sector of present day St. Jean-sur-Richelieu. St. Jean was previously known as St. Johns and before that Dorchester.

The Church was established in 1816 and burials were first recorded in the register on the 5th of March 1817 with the Burial of George Rogers.

The Cemetery when visited in 2014 showed its age with many monuments faded to the point of illegibility and many others damaged. Several monuments appear to have been reset and laid flat on the ground.

There was a new cemetery established, likely in 1897, about one mile west of the current location on Rue St. Jacques.
