The Draper City Cemetery is located at 12441 South 900 East, bordered on the east by Fort Street in the heart of Draper. The cemetery was established around 1850, originally on the "Sand Hill" in Draper. Due to weather, animal, or other concerns, the remains were moved in 1870 to the present location.
