Natchez City Cemetery was established in 1822 and now includes over 100 acres of land.
The old burying ground was on a high hill in downtown Natchez. When the cemetery was established in its present location, the remains from the old burial ground were gradually moved to the present site.
Markers with dates of death in the late 1700's testify to the fact that the remains were also moved from church yards and private plantation burial grounds.
Numerous beautiful, creatively designed iron fences, benches, iron mausoleum doors, tombstones, and monuments are found within the cemetery. The varied patterns of iron work represent almost the entire spectrum of iron work produced in America in the 19th and early 20th Centuries.
The majority of the signed marble work dates to before the Civil War.
