Outlot #1 in Lima was used as a cemetery from the town's origin onwards. In 1851, the 4-acre plot was bought for $80 by the Lima Cemetery Assn. By 1859, further burials there were forbidden; shortly there was a call to move remaining burials to the other sites, primarily the "new" cemetery (the Old Lima Cemetery) in the northeast corner of E. Wayne & N. Cemetery (now Park) St. By 1873 the first cemetery had been abandoned; however, it still shows on the 1880 map of Lima, although the property was soon dispersed.


The cemetery was located on the southeast corner of Tanner Street (now Central Avenue) and North Street. The cemetery appears on the "East Part of Lima" map in the Atlas of Allen County Ohio, published by R. H. Harrison, Philadelphia, PA, 1880.
