Murwillumbah's original general cemetery served the Tweed Valley from 1877 until its closure in 1977. Late in the 1970s it became a sacred park: headstones were removed and the names of all 2,348 people buried here were inscribed on plaques at an entrance gazebo, beside a Tweed Shire Council pioneer monument.
