According to the Mecklenburg County Historic Landmarks Commission, "Elmwood Cemetery is a property that possesses local historic significance as one of the oldest and largest public cemeteries in Charlotte and as a reflection of Charlotte-Mecklenburg's nineteenth-and-twentieth-century cultural heritage. The cemetery, a 72-acre plot of rolling green space in the heart of Charlotte, first opened in 1853. The graves of important Charlotte-Mecklenburg citizens… alongside the thousands of others who lived, worked, worshipped and died in Mecklenburg County, make Elmwood an important historical and cultural resource. The intricacies of the gravestones themselves, the arrangement of family members within a plot and of plots within the cemetery, all give clues to the values and beliefs of specific persons within the Charlotte community and of the community as a whole."
