History

Riverview Cemetery dates back to a Quaker graveyard used in the 1670s overlooking the Delaware River. The cemetery was established in 1699, and was incorporated in 1858 by an act passed by the New Jersey Legislature. It still serves the community today as an active cemetery, with an office and full-time staff. It was expanded and formally landscaped in the 19th century, becoming the burial site of many prominent Trentonians of the era. The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 27, 2017, for its significance in landscape architecture. It includes one contributing building, two contributing sites, five contributing structures, and 38 contributing objects.
