St James Episcopal Church Cemetery was founded in 1849, as a parish burial ground that was laid out on the furthest corner of the 20-acre St. James' Episcopal Church property, at the corner of Winn Street and what is now Polk Street in Marietta.

Some of the most famous families in Cobb County are represented in this cemetery including the Glovers (John Glover was the first mayor of Marietta and his wife would donate the land for the Confederate Cemetery), Lawrences, Sessions', Whitlocks, Hurts and many other first families.

The murder-victim JonBenét Ramsey lies in Saint James Episcopal Cemetery in Marietta, next to the grave of her mother Patsy Ramsey and her half-sister Elizabeth Pasch Ramsey (daughter of John Bennett Ramsey and his first wife), who died in a 1992 car accident at the age of 22.
