This is Greenville's original cemetery began in 1869 on what was at the time the Blanton plantation. This land and most of Greenville were donated by Mrs. Blanton Theobald. In 1878 Greenville was struck with Yellow Fever and this site was used as the burial ground, giving it the secondary name "Yellow Fever Cemetery" due to the fast burials and common deaths. It was divided up into quadrants for the white, black, Chinese, and Jewish residents to be laid to rest together. This is the first and last time for racial diversity in local cemeteries. In the late 1960s the local garden club spearhead the relocation of the graves and those that could afford to do so relocated their loved ones. Those that could not afford the relocating or if their family could not be found remain at this location within the park to this day.
