Fortune Green was originally part of the district of Hampstead but became physically separated from it by the building of the new turnpike road (now Finchley Road) in the 1830s.

Now lying the 'wrong' side of the Finchley Road, Hampstead town council decided to build its overflow cemetery there in the 1840s.

It now lies in the London Borough of Camden.
