Biographical / Historical
In June, 1848, the City of Carrollton purchased the square bounded by Adams St., Hillary St., Sixth (now Birch) St., and Seventh (now Hickory) St. to establish the Carrollton Cemetery. An additional square bounded by Hillary, Lowerline, Birch and Hickory Streets was added in 1871. The administration of the Carrollton Cemetery was transferred to the Department of Police and Public Buildings in 1874, when the City of Carrollton was annexed to the City of New Orleans.
