It was established by Congregation Sha'arai Shomayim in 1876 after their previous cemetery, Jewish Rest in the adjacent Magnolia Cemetery, was filled to capacity.〔Sledge, John Sturdivant.

==The congregation==
Mobile's Reform Jewish community had its beginnings in the 1820s. The ''Sha'arai Shomayim'' congregation was the first Jewish congregation in Alabama and one of the oldest Reform congregations in the United States. It was made up of German Jewish immigrants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work="Springhill Avenue Temple, Congregation Sha'arai Shomayim" )〕 It was granted a charter by the state on January 25, 1844, with fifty-two families under the name of ''Sha'arai Shomayim Umaskil el Dol'', or Gates of Heaven and Society of Friends of the Needy. They organized the first synagogue in Alabama, the St. Emanuel Street Temple, dedicated on December 27, 1846. They went on to build three more synagogues, after outgrowing the others. They moved to the Springhill Avenue Temple on September 2, 1955.〔
