City Point National Cemetery
The National Cemeteries in the U.S.A. are used for graves of war dead, graves of U.S. military personnel, veterans and their spouses but not exclusively so. There are also special state veteran cemeteries.
City Point National Cemetery was opened after the American Civil War to reinter soldiers who were buried in the seven nearby hospital cemeteries and those from makeshift battlefield plots throughout the area. In 2005, there were in total 6,909 graves on this cemetery.
