Ownership: Jackson City Cemetery is owned and maintained by the City of Jackson.

Directions: The cemetery is bounded by Cemetery Ln. to the east and Church St. to the west. The Jackson Catholic Cemetery is located adjacent to the north.

Background: In 1854, the newly founded city of Jackson gave formal recognition to the public graveyard along Church Street. The Catholics too, about this time, chose an adjacent area to the north for a cemetery, as did the Chinese to the south and the Jews to the east. Next to come were the sculptors and artisans and the Marble and Granite Works to the west on Church Street.
