Pioneer Cemetery - Morningside Cemetery - Sylmar Cemetery

This is the oldest nonsectarian cemetery in the San Fernando Valley, having possibly been established in the mid-1800s. It was used as a burial site until 193, and was legally abandoned in 1959.

The cemetery is now owned by Native Daughters of the Golden West, and maintained as a pioneer memorial park.

It is located on Foothill Boulevard at Bledsoe Street in Sylmar.
