How Washington Square Came to Be

Initially, the area that occupies Washington Square Park today was a cemetery for yellow fever victims in the late 1700s. In the 1820's Washington Square Park was built in on the site of a former potter's field and then public gallows. In the latter part of the 19th century, it became a desirable residential area for the upper classes gradually moving uptown, escaping the congestion that was occurring with the growth of the city center. Throughout the years, additions were added and redesigns were done, to get the park where it is at today.
