It is one of the oldest cemeteries in the city of Dallas.[1] It is part of a cemetery tour, and sits next to the Emanu-El Cemetery, the Calvary Cemetery, and the Freedman's Cemetery Memorial.[2][3]

History

At the time of its founding, the cemetery was out of town and surrounded by farmland. By 1896, the cemetery had fallen into disrepair with one local noting: "The fence is down in twenty places, cattle roam all over the graves and wagons use the main street as a common thoroughfare."Шаблон:Citation needed This prompted the formation of the Greenwood Cemetery Association,[4] which took over the maintenance and operation of the cemetery and gave it its current name.
