The first Jewish cemetery in the United States was consecrated in 1656 at a site then described as outside the city. During the War of the Revolution, patriots fortified it as one of the defenses of the city. In 1903, work there was undertaken under the auspices of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society and the American Jewish Historical Society.
