Beginning in 1839 with the donation of four square blocks of land; the grouping of cemeteries on the central boulevard of Galveston has grown to include seven separate cemeteries within their gates. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places; it is the resting place of famous and infamous citizens from Galvestons colorful past; including veterans from every war between 1812 and the present; heroes; scoundrels; philanthropists; murderers; pioneers of the Republic of Texas; groundbreaking scientists; and working-class citizens from around the world. Due to several grade raisings; there are up to three layers of burials within the cemetery; with some of the markers being lost forever. The stories of some of the "residents" are gathered here for you to enjoy.
