History
File:Northeast Portland, Oregon (2019) - 037.jpg
Leaders of the Japanese Association, which became the Nikkei Jin Kai after World War II, purchased a large portion of the cemetery. In 2005, the Japanese Ancestral Society became the cemetery's title holder. The organization continues to administer an endowment to maintain the cemetery.{{cite web|title=History|url=http://www.japaneseancestralsociety.org/about/history/|publisher=Japanese Ancestral Society|accessdate=November 10, 2015|archive-date=June 28, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150628033816/http://www.japaneseancestralsociety.org/about/history/|url-status=live}}
