Located in Fairfield County, the Danbury Cemetery Association was created in November of 1850 as a result of a State law regarding cemeteries. The first officers were Frederick S. Wildman, President; Lucius P. Hoyt, Secretary; with 6 Directors:( Edgar S. Tweedy, George W. Ives laid out the design of the cemetery), Nelson L. White, S. A. Hurlburt, Henry Benedict, and Samuel C. Wildman. And so the journey began that brought us to the present cemetery of rolling hills and diverse landscapes, hosting a variety of religions and international ethnicity. It has also become a natural habitat fostering an array of animals and birds creating and ecological friendly "green area."
