With the establishment of the Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth in 1973 and the creation of the Municipality of Stoney Creek, replacing the former Township of Saltfleet, the new council saw an immediate need for a new public cemetery and purchased this property in 1973.

The cemetery opened in 1976 and has been in continuous use as a municipal cemetery. At Mountview the cultural diversity and rapid growth of the community is evident, with monuments in many styles and languages.
