City Cemetery — Cemeteries in Miami, FL

This historic cemetery has been around since 1887 with its first reported burial being ten years later, making it the oldest cemetery in the entire Miami-Dade County. The cemetery grounds were originally separated; one part for whites and one for blacks. Cemetery plot owners actually hold deeds to the land of their plot, but only the deed holder or his/her family is allowed to be buried there. Many of Miami's founders and prominent figures are buried at the cemetery, including Julia Tuttle (a.k.a. the Mother of Miami).
