Just barely older than the Barrancas National Cemetery in Pensacola, Florida, the first internment occurred at this site in 1828. Located on the grounds of a Spanish Period Franciscan monastery, this facility became a national cemetery in 1881. Remains of the soldiers killed with Major Francis Dade in December 1835 were moved to this cemetery in 1842 for reinternment.
No sites remain for intermnent.
