Port Albert Cemetery was established in 1870, for immigrants who had first settled in Port Albert in the 1860's, part of an immigration scheme to establish a model Protestant Christian settlement on the Kaipara harbour in North Auckland.
The Cemetery lies in the countryside, a few miles behind the coastal settlement of Port Albert.
Port Albert Cemetery is the final resting place for three generations of the pioneering forbears Christopher Blake, a composer whose Anthem on the Kaipara for string orchestra, is written to commemorate the death of a New Zealand soldier in the deserts of Libya in 1941.
