The Cemetery was established in the 1840s, to replace the Newport, Cemetery. A defensive earthwork named Shaler Battery, built as part of the Defense of Cincinnati during the Civil War, remains preserved within the cemetery and is located adjacent to the cemetery bandstand. It was one of the 28 artillery batteries that were built on northern Kentucky hilltops from 1861 to 1863. A residence for the sexton of the cemetery was constructed in 1872. Seven years later, in 1879, the name of the cemetery was officially acknowledged as Evergreen. By 1902, a chapel had been constructed on the cemetery grounds and was used for funeral services and layouts. The cemetery was also used as the cemetery in the 1988 film Rain Man.
