Located at 72-76 West 11th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues, is the tiny Second Cemetery of the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, Shearith Israel, in the City of New York (1805 - 1829). This is one of 3 cemeteries belonging to the synagogue. The original cemetery here was larger. However, in 1830, (after the commisioners' plan of 1811 establishing a street grid) 11th Street was cut though, reducing the size to this small triangle. Disturbed graves were moved to the Third Cemetery on West 21st Street.
