Cedar Grove, a nonsectarian cemetery that recorded its first burial in 1893, lies on what was once Spring Hill, the estate of colonial governor Cadwallader Colden. Mount Hebron began in 1903 as Cedar Grove's Jewish section and now fills most of the grounds, with more than 200,000 burials; in its early years most of its land went to Jewish mutual aid, hometown and burial societies. A section set aside for the Yiddish theater world holds performers such as Molly Picon and Boris Thomashevsky.
