Glens Falls Cemetery is a historic cemetery located at Glens Falls, Warren County, New York. It was established in 1853 as a 13-acre cemetery and expanded in 1871, 1888, and five times between 1913 and 1973 to a total of 38 acres.
In 1853, the village purchased 13 acres from Andrew Porteus of Queensbury, New York for the sum of $1000, with $500 set aside for grading and fencing. The first burial took place in 1855, but there are several older markers which were moved here from the old West Street Cemetery in the early 1870s.
After several expansions, the cemetery now spans 32 acres with over 12,000 burials.
