Evergreen Cemetery: Los Angeles
Established on August 23, 1877, Evergreen is the oldest, and one of the largest extant cemeteries in the city, with over 300,000 interments. With wonderful views of downtown Los Angeles, Evergreen has several prominent historical Southern Californians on its grounds. Many pioneers are interred here such as Bixby, Coulter, Hollenbeck, Lankershim, Van Nuys, and Workman. There are politicians, notably former Mayors of Los Angeles, and the Garden of the Pines section of the cemetery is a memorial to Japanese Issei pioneers.
