Background: Greenwood Memorial Terrace was founded in 1888 during the era when Spokane was transitioning from a frontier town to a more established city. Prominent local businessmen, including A. M. Cannon, helped purchase the land. Over the decades it expanded into a terraced, wooded site of more than 150 acres. In the mid-20th century the cemetery, originally known simply as Greenwood Cemetery, was renamed Greenwood Memorial Terrace and later became part of the Fairmount Memorial Association.
