The Simi Cemetery is the first recorded cemetery in Simi Valley, having been established in 1890 by Clementine Parantau on land she purchased from the California Mutual Benefit Colony of Chicago (Simi Cemetery Map, 4890).

The Simi Cemetery continued as a private cemetery until the County of Ventura purchased the land in 1946, established a Cemetery District, and appointed trustees to supervise the operation which is primarily funded through plot sales and property taxes. The Pioneer Section of the Simi Cemetery contains the original burial plots of pioneer Simi residents both colony residents and others that settled in Simi between the 1870s and 1890s.

In addition, the cemetery is the final resting place for many who have served our country and lived in Simi Valley. A wall was erected some time ago, but is in need of replacement.
