History


Mount Olivet was consecrated on September 25, 1892.[2] The primary Denver cemetery until that time had been Prospect Hill Cemetery, southeast of the city. In 1890 the city designated those grounds to be turned into a park. The Catholic section of Prospect Hill Cemetery was then named Mount Calvary Cemetery, and over time the Catholic Church moved most of the remains of those buried in the Mount Calvary Cemetery to Mount Olivet Cemetery, and sold the land back to the city in 1950. Today that land is part of Cheesman Park and the Denver Botanic Gardens.
