Olive Cemetery was established in February 1849 when Black businessman Stephen Smith donated land for the cemetery and established the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Persons at Philadelphia on an adjacent parcel. Olive Cemetery was one of the city's largest African-American–administered business enterprises which, by the late 19th century, had gone to ruination due to mismanagement. It was condemned by the City and remains from this cemetery were reinterred in Eden Cemetery, Collingdale, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
