In the United States , Canada , Australia , and elsewhere, a pioneer cemetery is a cemetery that is the burial place for pioneers. American pioneers founded such cemeteries during territorial expansion of the United States , with founding dates spanning, at least, from the late 18th to early 20th centuries.
A number of these have been officially designated as historic sites worthy of preservation, including at least 10 listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[1]
Definitions [ edit ]
The State of Iowa defines "pioneer cemetery" as "a cemetery where twelve or
fewer burials have taken place in the past 50 years".[2]
The State of Nebraska defines an "abandoned or neglected pioneer cemetery" as having been founded or situated upon land that "was given, granted, donated, sold, or deeded to the founders of the cemetery prior to January 1, 1900", and that "contains the grave or graves of a person or persons who were homesteaders , immigrants from a foreign nation, prairie farmers, pioneers, sodbusters , first generation Nebraskans, or Civil War veterans".[3]
The State of Oregon defines a "pioneer cemetery" as "any burial place that contains the remains of one or more persons who died before February 14, 1909",[4] statehood .
California recognizes that pioneer cemeteries may have become the responsibility of a public cemetery district[5] [6]
