The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. According to epigraphic data, it already existed in the mid-19th century. First, it appears on Russian maps of the beginning of the 20th century. Later it was marked on Polish maps of 1939. The cemetery was fenced by ESJF in September 2016.

The Great Synagogue of the Old Town is an Ashkenazi synagogue built in the late 16th - early 17th century. It is believed that the synagogue was put out of use in the 1930s. The brick building of Gothic Survival style now serves as a factory.
The synagogue of Shepetivka is an Ashkenazi synagogue built in the first half of the 19th century. The brick building mixes elements of neo-classical and Baroque Survival. Restored after 1945, the building still serves as a synagogue.
The new cemetery was established in 1928. It was not marked on old maps. A few dozens of gravestones were moved from the old cemetery when it was demolished. The cemetery was operating after WWII.
