The fragmentary remains of early New Yorkers were found by archeologists during construction in the vicinity of City Hall Park and reinterred at this site by the City in 2010. Multiple 18th-century burial grounds once existed here associated with the Almshouse, a poorhouse built in 1736 where City Hall now stands; the Barracks, four structures in the north of the park built by the British in 1757 to house soldiers; the New Gaol, a prison east of City Hall built in 1759; and the Bridewell, a prison to the west of City Hall built in 1775. The adjacent African Burial Ground was in use by 1712.
During subsequent excavation in the vicinity of City Hall Park and Tweed Courthouse as part of the 2010 City Hall Rehabilitation project, addition fragmentary remains of early New Yorkers were unearthed and reinterred at this site by the City in 2013.
