Old Alberton (Pioneer Park) Cemetery Index

Between the early 1840s and 1874, approximately 3,000 people were interred in the Alberton Cemetery. After its closure in January 1874 it became neglected, over-run with weeds and prickly pears. The headstones were vandalised, and the area used as an “adventure playground” by the local children. Today very few headstones remain, and the area has been converted into a park.
