The Woodland City Cemetery is bounded on its north and east sides by West Cross Street and West Street, respectively, bounded on its south side by St. Joseph's Cemetery, and bounded on its west side by a row of houses that face California Street. It is located north of West Southwood Drive.

In 1856, a brick building was built to house the Union Church at the site of what is now the Woodland City Cemetery.¹ A small cemetery was installed adjacent to the Union Church, for the church's use. In 1869, the Woodland Cemetery Association was founded and purchased 10 acres of land adjacent to the Union Church cemetery. In 1967, the City of Woodland assumed ownership of the Woodland City Cemetery.² At some point, the Union Church was demolished, and the Woodland City Cemetery acquired adjacent land.

The Woodland City Cemetery has been planted with trees by the city. The trees include six invasive weed species: Glossy Privet (Ligustrum lucidum), European Olive (Olea europaea), Canary Island Palm (Phoenix canariensis), Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia 'Purple Robe'), Chinese Tallow Tree (Triadica sebifera), and Mexican Fan Palm (Washingtonia robusta).
