The Rahway Cemetery is located along the banks of the Rahway River in Rahway, New Jersey, U.S.[1][2][3] Earlier, the land is thought to be owned by the Frazee family with the first burial in 1724 of John Frazee. This land for the cemetery was later acquired by the First Presbyterian Cemetery, which was established circa 1741–1742.[4] [5][6] It is adjacent to Merchants' and Drovers' Tavern and the Rahway River Parkway.
