Directions: Located in the north-east corner of the city, the cemetery sits along the south-east side of Randsburg Mojave Rd, about 1,000 feet before the intersection with 20 Mule Team Parkway.

Background: California City Memorial Park opened its doors in February 1978. The city's 80,000 acres have historic roots, dating back to the 1800s Twenty Mule Team Borax Wagon route and the 1776 visit of Padre Francisco Garces, a missionary who camped at Castle Butte (now known as California City). The first two interments were performed on April 24, 1978 to James A. Riley, the first official mayor of California City, and his grandson. The two burials were dis-interred from the Mojave Cemetery and re-interred into the new California City Memorial Park.
