The cemetery was established in the second half of the Nineteenth century at Sielecka and Zagórska Streets. Burials took place until the First World War, when the cemetery was full and burials began in the cemetery in Czeladź.

During World War II, the cemetery was heavily damaged, but its existence was put to an end by the post-war authorities of the Polish People's Republic. They gave permission to extend the bus depot to include the necropolis. Some of the matzevot from the cemetery were saved, but most of them were used as excellent building material. After quickly driving the bulldozer over the cemetery area and hardening it, concrete was poured to cover the entire area.

In 2007, matzevot were discovered in the structure of a forgotten local railway ramp. During the on-site visit in February 2020, the traces of the ramp are clearly visible, and the fragments of matzevot are easy to find.
