The Bloomington Cemetery was established in 1856 by Oak Grove Presbyterian Church. In June of 1864 the Town of Bloomington acquired the Cemetery.

The City Clerk's Office maintains the records of the Cemetery, which date back to the 1800s. They sell lots and assist mortuaries with burial arrangements. Birth and death records between the years 1871 to 1953 are kept on file.
