New York City's rapid growth required difficult decisions, including relocating cemeteries to create public spaces. Washington Square Park, Bryant Park, and other beloved locations were once burial grounds. Understanding this history adds depth to how we experience these spaces today—they're not just parks, but layers of the city's complex past.
