The Lone Mountain Cemetery was opened on May 30, 1854. In 1867, the cemetery was renamed Laurel Hill Cemetery. Lone Mountain College (formerly Sacred Heart Academy and San Francisco College for Women) was founded in 1898, and changed leadership and ownership many times before becoming part of USF in 1978. The Lone Mountain area is also known as "University Terrace" because of the terraces that connect the two USF campuses.
