First Shearith Israel Graveyard
Since 1682
First Shearith Israel Graveyard, also known as Chatham Square Cemetery, is a tiny Jewish graveyard located in the Two Bridges neighborhood of Lower Manhattan in New York City. It is the oldest of three Manhattan graveyards currently maintained by Congregation Shearith Israel (Hebrew, "Remnant of Israel"), which is itself the oldest Jewish congregation in North America. (The Congregation was formed by Spanish and Portuguese Sephardic Jewish immigrants in 1654.) Today, the cemetery is a mere fragment of its original extent.
