- Notes:
- The cemetery is best known for the burial site at its center, where the remains of 85 Confederate Army soldiers are buried. In 1862, during the Union Army advance on Little Rock, Confederate troops stationed at Rondo were swept up in a measles epidemic. The 19th Texas Infantry Regiment had seven companies stationed at Rondo, and most of the dead came from its ranks. The 85 dead were disinterred from their original graves and reburied in the Rondo Cemetery after the war.
The Confederate section of the cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
