Hollywood Cemetery was established on October 14, 1890, when charter members purchased 84 acres, then outside the Atlanta city limits, for $25,000. The company nearly went insolvent within a few years, and the City of Atlanta once considered but never completed buying it as a municipal cemetery. Much of the property is non-perpetual-care and has become badly overgrown, with roughly 2,500 of its more than 8,500 graves now unmarked.
