The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. According to the dates on the preserved matzevot it can be assumed the cemetery already existed in the early 20th century. It can first be found marked on Russian maps of the region from the 1880s and, later, on a Russian map from 1907.

The Great Synagogue in Uman is an Ashkenazi synagogue probably built in the 1830s. This Neo-Classical brick building is now a factory.
The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. According to the Lo Tishkakh database, the oldest tombstone dates to 1830. However, the oldest tombstone found by the ESJF survey team dates to the late 19th century. As such the cemetery was most likely founded in that period. It first appears on a Russian map of the region from 1923. The fence was erected by ESJF in 2015.
While the exact date of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown, it is marked on old maps of the area and its oldest tombstone dates to the mid 19th century. As such, it can be assumed that was the era in which it was constructed. Its wall was installed by ESJF in October 2015.
