Cemetery History

Founded by the Sokol Lodge, organized in 1904 to promote athletic skills and patriotism among its members. Czech for "falcon," Sokol has been in the United States since 1865 and attracts Americans of Czech, Slovakian, and Moravian descent. More than one Sokol Lodge formed in Roslyn; it is unclear which one founded the cemetery.

Notes
