City Cemetery No 1 is bounded on the north by Paso Hondo St., the south by E. Commerce St., the west by Monumental St and on the east by Palmetto Street. The main entrance to the cemetery is from East Commerce Street. The cemetery inscriptions were previously complied in the mid 1960s. This edition updates, revises and corrects the previous edition. If you have additional information regarding individuals in this cemetery and have family histories, bible records, etc., they would certainly be greatly appreciated. CEMETERY PLOT MAP There is a plot map of the cemetery. The plot map is scaled to a size that is difficult to read. Therefore, a plot map was made using the original as a guide. Many plots have been added since the original plot map was drawn. New plots that are clearly defined have been added to the original with a notation. On the section maps, the original owner is noted. In many cases, the original plot owner apparently sold their plot to another as their name is not found in the plot. There is no way to tell if there is a relationship. There could be. Therefore, the original plot owner has been kept reflecting the owner's name on the plot map. There is a later updated map of the plots for City Cemetery No. 1. On this map, only numbers are indicated. It appears that the section east of H is referred to as Section K and Section D extended and covered the section east of H in the card file housed at the San Jose Burial Park Office on Mission Road. In the extended section for D, there are two indicated plot/lot 40. å There is not indication of a date on the map. SECTIONS There are 8 sections in the cemetery: Sections A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. Additional sections do not have an assignment of letters but are a section east of F, and east of H. A sketch of the cemetery shows the different areas. A sketch map of each section has been included for location of us. Plots that have no visible stones are noted in blue. Plots found within a section not noted on the original map are shown in a light green. A few photographs of individual stones have been included in some sections.

City Cemetery #1 (Estimated Burials: 3,800) – Established in 1853, this is the oldest burial ground in San Antonio. Originally it was approximately 20 acres but was later reduced to about 10. A wide variety of markers can be seen here including Woodman of the World tree types, obelisks, scrolls, dais and many others. Cemetery #1 and its neighbor, Alamo Masonic, are the final resting place of many of the City’s earliest and most famous citizens. If you are planning a visit to the Cemetery District and time is an issue, we recommend you spend your time in these two graveyards.
