When it was decided in 1827 that the original West Oswego Cemetery near the lake was no longer adequate, a lot was purchased in the southern part of the village. Some bodies were moved from the old cemetery in April of 1828. Eventually even this newer cemetery became too small as the city grew and it was closed. Then around 1889 some bodies were moved again when this cemetery closed and turned into a park, called Kingsford Park. In the 1920's a school was built on this areal. During construction several bones were found. Now there is the Kingsford Park Elementary School.
A historical map of 1867 shows the original location of this cemetery. Burial information was taken from the 20th Publication of The Oswego Historical Society, 1957, page 36 and following
