Summary
| Description |
English: The Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground was established in 1816 by the City of Richmond for the interment of free people of color, and the enslaved. It was a segregated part of the Shockoe Hill Burying Ground (also known as the Shockoe Hill Cemetery). It began as two one acre plots on the northeast corner of what was 5th St. and Marshall St. (the street was later diverted to the northeast through the burial ground and at some point renamed Hospital St.) The burying ground was increased over time to as many as 31 acres. It is estimated that more than 22,000 people of African decent were interred in this burying ground, likely making it the largest burial ground for free people of color and the enslaved in the United States. It was closed in June of 1879 due to overcrowded conditions. It is not recognizable on the surface as a burial ground today. |
