Timeline

[edit]
  • 1840: Paupers' Burial Ground – formed in 1840 when the Town of Flushing purchased land from the Bowne family for a public cemetery for victims of the cholera epedimic. It was used for about 12 years, and again beginning around 1881 for African and Native Americans. It closed in 1898 with an estimated 500 to 1000 burials. The Queens Department of Parks acquired the property in 1914.
  • 1931: Martin's Field – renamed in honor of Everett Philo Martin (1854–1934), a conservationist, who campaigned to have it cleaned up.
