Los Gatos Memorial Park

San Jose, Italy

Los Gatos Memorial Park is the principle cemetery of Los Gatos, California, established in 1889. It occupies some thirty acres, with the main entrance at 2255 Los Gatos-Almaden Road, San Jose, California 95124. By the late 1880s, Los Gatos needed a cemetery, and the matter was considered by the Odd

Fellows Lodge. As a result, on December 9, 1889, some members of the lodge formed the Los Gatos Cemetery Association, with J. H. Lyndon as president, and it went on to acquire land and establish a burial ground which was at first known as the Los Gatos Cemetery. In 1901, the cemetery was advertised as "2½ miles E on Almaden rd", with offices in Los Gatos at Main near Railroad Avenue. By 1997, the Los Gatos Cemetery had been renamed as a Memorial Park and had also been taken into its city limits by the San Jose City Council.
