No one knows for sure when Regina's City Cemetery was set aside for use. The earliest tombstone dates from 1882 but at that time the cemetery, which is located on the north-west corner of Broad Street and Fourth Avenue, would have been many miles from the settlement of Regina , which at the time was centred where downtown Regina now stands. It is reported that the first burial at the City Cemetery took place in 1882, before the 1883 incorporation of the cemetery. David Lindsay, the two-year old son of W.C. Lindsay, is purported to be the first interment at the cemetery, although no documentation exists to back up this claim.
