Historic Sugar Hill Baptist Church Cemetery predates the incorporation of Sugar Hill in 1939. It is affiliated with the community's first Baptist church, which was organized in 1886 with W.N. Blackstock as moderator and J.H. Suddeth as clerk of the presbytery. The charter members were G.H. Suddeth, J.H. Suddeth, Jacob Moulder, E.B. Riden, Margret Moulder, Mary Moulder, Augusta Suddeth, Sarah Johnson, Margret Suddeth, Francis Garner, Mae Riden and Eliza Suddeth. Many of Sugar Hill's founding families, both from the church and community have been laid to rest in the cemetery.
