Green-Wood Cemetery

Green-Wood Cemetery was established in 1838 as a country burial ground in Kings County, New York. Like other early country burial grounds, Green-Wood was established in a period of quick urbanization when churchyards in New York City were getting to be packed. The green-wood cemetery is well known for its historical presence and Situated in Greenwood Heights, Brooklyn, the graveyard lays a few pieces southwest of Prospect Park, between Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Borough Park, Kensington, and Sunset Park. "Brooklyn's first open stop as a matter of course well before Prospect Park was made", the fame of Green-Wood Cemetery motivated an opposition to outline a "Focal Park" for NYC. It basically enlivened the formation of Central Park and Prospect Park.
