The Draper City Cemetery is located at 12441 South 900 East, bordered on the east by Fort Street in the heart of Draper. The cemetery was established around 1850, originally on the "Sand Hill" in Draper. Due to weather, animal, or other concerns, the remains were moved in 1870 to the present location.

The earliest burial date recorded at the cemetery dates back to November 21, 1870, but there are headstones with earlier dates than that. The cemetery was started by Mormon pioneers who settled in Draper City. The first settlers in Draper are buried in this cemetery: Ebenezer Brown, Phoebe Brown, and William Draper.
