Background: Arbor Vitae Cemetery was established in 1885 by the Ladies Social Aid Society of Madera-Fresno County, though burials began in 1865. Over time, the cemetery grounds in certain areas became unkempt and in 1945 the local residence and property owners in Madera County voted to form Madera Cemetery District. The Arbor Vitae Cemetery was the first cemetery to come under this title.
