Old Blue Island Cemetery

Early settlers in the area, mostly of German descent, were buried in Old Blue Island Cemetery. In 1898 complaints from nearby residents resulted in an ordinance prohibiting additional burials. In 1928, the Memorial Park Association deeded the land to the Blue Island Park District. Most of the bodies were moved to Mount Greenwood Cemetery and First Lutheran Cemetery, and the site is now Blue Island Memorial Park.
