The cemetery began in 1873 as a family burial ground for the Mueller and Stuebner families. It was later known as the Mueller-Stuebner Cemetery, the Stuebner Cemetery, and the Huffsmith Lutheran Cemetery. Zion Lutheran Church was established in 1905, and in 1907 Henry and Mary Mueller donated an additional three acres to the family cemetery to establish the Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery. The church continues to care for the cemetery to this day.

In 2006 Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery was designated a Historic Texas Cemetery. Many of the grave markers are written in German, reflecting the heritage of the members of the church. Burials include veterans of the Civil War, World War I, and World War II.
