Hillsboro Pioneer Cemetery
The Hillsboro Pioneer Cemetery is a pioneer cemetery in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. It is located at the west end of the city along the Tualatin Valley Highway and adjacent to Dairy Creek. The cemetery comprises three formerly private cemeteries. In 1973, the city of Hillsboro gained title to what is the oldest cemetery in Washington County.〔(Hillsboro Pioneer Cemetery Inscriptions. ) Cemeteries. Retrieved on February 29, 2008.〕
==History==
The cemetery is situated on what was previously part of the David Hill land claim that was recorded on July 4, 1847.〔Byrd, Dean H., Stanley R. Clarke, and Janice M. Healy. 2001. ''Oregon Burial Site Guide''. Portland, Or: Binford & Mort Pub.〕 Hill died in 1850, and in 1860 the Masonic Order and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) established a cemetery on the current site. The IOOF portion of the cemetery was to the east of the Masons' part.〔Historic names mark old gravestones. ''Hillsboro Argus'', October 19, 1976.〕 Around 1915 another section owned by IOOF was added west of the Masons' section.〔 On August 7, 1973, the city of Hillsboro received the deeds to the cemeteries and took over maintenance and operations.〔
In 1995, 155 grave sites were vandalized, causing over $75,000 in damage. The city made improvements in 2012 with the addition of an arched, wrought-iron entry and information kiosk.〔 Paid for in part by a state grant, the project cost $13,000 to complete.〔 In 2014, the city completed a master plan to make $1.7 million in improvements, including sidewalks, parking, and fencing.
