Alexandria (Virginia) National Cemetery

1450 Wilkes Street
Alexandria, VA 22314
Phone: (703) 221- 2183

Alexandria is one of the original 14 national cemeteries established in 1862. The first burials made in the cemetery were soldiers who died during training or from disease in the numerous hospitals around Alexandria. By 1864, the cemetery was nearly filled to capacity, which eventually led to the planning, development and construction of Arlington National Cemetery.
