Citizen Cemetery is the oldest Cemetery in Chattanooga. It is believed that it began to be used before or during 1837. A tract of land surrounding the original graves was purchased in 1838 from Col. William Lindsay, an officer of the US Army stationed at Ross's Landing during the Cherokee War. The city record reports that the 104 acres west of Georgia Avenue were purchased for $75 an acre. Citizen Cemetery is located between the eight hundred and nine hundred block of East 4th and 5th Streets in downtown Chattanooga.
