Greenwood Cemetery was established in 1904 by William H. Brown and James L. Mayson. The first burial occurred in 1907. There is a large Jewish section, a Chinese section and a Greek section. The cemetery was first desegregated in 1987 with the interment of C.R. Jones, Atlanta's first African-American council member. The cemetery contains one British Commonwealth war grave, of a Second World War airman of the Royal Canadian Air Force. The Chinese section is enclosed on three sides by an iron pipe rail fence. In the center is a thirty foot tall obelisk, bearing the inscription: Chee Hung Tong, Chinese Free Masons, September 8, 1911. Many of the individual graves are marked by small headstones, inscribed in Chinese characters. The Greek section covers about an acre and is bounded by a hedge. It was opened in 1911. Many of the monuments are inscribed in Greek. There is a small church in the southwest corner constructed of yellow bricks that resembles a miniature Parthenon.
