Cleveland No.1 Cemetery, Cleveland (1858-1873)
Entered into the heritage register as an archaeological place, this was the first public burial ground established on the mainland in the Cleveland/Redland Bay district. It has the potential to reveal important information about early settlement and demographic patterns in southern Moreton Bay, and about early burial practices in Queensland. Cleveland was an early focus of interest for free settlement from the 1840s, with Brisbane Valley squatters advocating the establishment of the official port for the Moreton Bay District at Cleveland Point. The Town of Cleveland was proclaimed in December 1850, and the cemetery was surveyed in December 1858.
