We know that the cemetery existed since the 19th century, when the Armenian population on the island began to increase. The cemetery land, which is 1803 m2 wide, was donated by Anber and Hovhannes Yazıcıoğlu in 1855. Due to a road opened in the middle of the cemetery in 1932, the upper part was left to the Turkish Foundation in 1937 and it was converted into a Muslim cemetery.
