This was the original City of Shreveport, containing 10 acres of land with a sandstone fence around it. It was founded in 1840, then became city property in 1847. The cemetery contains sections for the Jewish, Masonic and Odd Fellows. Also, a mound of approx. 800 victims of yellow fever epidemic in 1873. It contains many of the governmental officials, early business owners, etc during the early years . There has been very few burials over the past seventy years. The cemetery has suffered from vandalism and neglect over the years. In 2008 there was some effort given to restoration, but the gates are left open, at all times.
