Background: Little Rock National Cemetery, located southeast of Arkansas's capital, has its origins in the post–Civil War period when Union forces, occupying Little Rock since 1863, began interring soldiers on land previously used for encampments outside the city. The U.S. government purchased 12.3 acres in 1866–1868 to establish a national cemetery, officially designating it as such in 1868 to consolidate Union remains from battlefield graves across Arkansas—totaling over 5,400 interments by that time. Adjacent to the cemetery, an 11-acre Confederate burial ground was created in 1884, and officially transferred to federal care in 1913, marking the site as a resting place for both Union and Confederate soldiers.
