The Public Burial Ground of New Amsterdam and New York was created in 1662.

While it served the general public, it was also used by local churches, including the French Church.

It was a secondary burial ground for the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam and New York from 1662 until 1677, and it was its primary burial ground from 1677 until 1701, at which time the churchyard at the South Dutch Church on Garden Street was opened for burials.

Although the burial ground was taken over by Trinity Anglican Church in February 1703, it continued to be used as a public burial ground and for members of other religious denominations.

It is coextensive with the northern part of present-day Trinity Churchyard between Broadway and Trinity Place.
