Description from the Bronx SurveyWoodlawn was laid out in 1865 and reflects the nineteenth-century Romantic notion, (first seen in New York City at Brooklyn’s Greenwood Cemetery) that cemeteries should be rural and bucolic extensions of a city’s park system. Over the years, Woodlawn not only has become the resting place for many well known New Yorkers, but also has retained the sylvan charms which make it such a valuable asset to the Bronx.
