History

Daniel Carter, one of the first residents of Alpena, deeded the land in the southwest portion of town for a formal burial ground, now called Evergreen Cemetery. One of the first burials there is reported to be Sahgonahkato, an Indian Chief, who, along with one other person, were the only persons buried there in 1861. The City of Alpena has administered the cemetery for many years.
