Burials began in the 19th century after the Laurel Cotton Mill reserved three acres in the 1850s for burial of mill employees. The Ivy Hill Cemetery Company acquired the original land, known as both the Laurel Mill Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery, and added five more acres in 1890. Ivy Hill merged with Greenwood Cemetery in 1944, bringing its size to ten acres. A joint memorial service is held annually by the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department, Laurel Volunteer Rescue Squad, and Laurel Police Department.
