Narrative
In 1847, The State Rural Cemeteries Act was passed in New York, which by 1850 put an end to the establishment of any new cemeteries in Manhattan.
Cemetery owners were encouraged to build in Brooklyn and Queens, and Glendale became almost encircled by cemeteries, being located in what is called the 'Cemetery Belt'.
The cemeteries that surround Glendale are Saint John’s, Cypress Hills, All Saint’s Lutheran, Mount Lebanon, Mount Carmel, Beth-El, Mount Neboh, and Union Field.
