Historic Concordia Cemetery is a resting place for over 60,000 members of the El Paso community. Some are well known, some are unknown, while others are unmarked but each contributing to the story of El Paso and Historic Concordia Cemetery.

Known as Concordia during the 1840s, this area was the home of Chihuahua trader Hugh & Juana Stephenson. In 1856 his wife, Juana (Ascarate), was buried in what is now part of Concordia Cemetery. The graveyard gained widespread use in the 1880’s when El Pasoans drove three miles to Concordia to bury their dead.

By 1890, various sections had been purchased by different groups and were designated Catholic, Masonic, Jewish, Black, Chinese, Military, Jesuit, city, and county. 

Come visit Concordia residents such as gunfighter John Wesley Hardin, Buffalo Soldiers, Texas Rangers, Civil War Veterans, early Mormon pioneers, Florida (Lady Flo) Wolf, Lawman John Selman, and numerous other civic leaders, pioneers, and war veterans. Concordia was formerly the first burial site for Mexican Revolution President Victoriano Huerta.
