Broadway Cemetery Historic District, Historic cemetery district in Galveston County, US.

The Broadway Cemetery Historic District contains seven separate cemeteries spanning six blocks, with an estimated 6,000 individuals interred across 15 acres of land.

Between 1839 and 1867, Galveston experienced nine yellow fever epidemics, leading to the establishment of multiple burial grounds within the cemetery district.

The cemetery grounds display various architectural styles, including Beaux Arts, Colonial Revival, Gothic Revival, Neoclassical, and Renaissance Revival in their monuments and structures.

The district is situated between Broadway Avenue and Avenue L, from 40th to 43rd Street in Galveston, with separate sections for different religious and community groups.

The Hebrew Benevolent Society Cemetery section contains over 500 interments, documenting the presence of Jewish communities in Galveston since the mid-19th century.
