Our Rich History
After the American Civil War, the demand for iron and steel grew. The Cambria Iron Company of Johnstown met that demand, creating jobs and attracting immigrants. As the population grew, the need for more cemeteries arose. In 1884, a group of concerned citizens met to develop a new cemetery for Johnstown.
