MESQUITE CITY CEMETERY 301 Hillside St., Mesquite, Nevada 36.811634°-114.061558° Contributed by Gerry Perry Copyright 2011 R 7/19/2015 *********************************************************************************************** Early pioneers attempted to settle the area called Mesquite Flats from 1878. Flooding from the nearby Virgin River would ruin their canals and crops, causing the settlers to abandon the area. In 1894, a group of settlers from Bunkerville, Nevada successfully settled the town, and in 1898 the town was renamed Mesquite. The cemetery lies near the northern end of the main business route through Mesquite and I-15. It is a well-planned cemetery, with many trees planted uniformily to create an umbrella over the gravesites, a welcome respite in the hot summers of the desert community.
