The ten acre Nevai Shalom Cemetery was dedicated as the second Jewish Cemetery in San Francisco, California on grounds in what is now Mission Dolores Park. The Hebrew Cemetery, the first, had opened in 1850 in Pacific Heights but had moved in April, 1860, also to the Dolores Park. The Nevai Shalom held around three hundred graves when it closed in 1888 and relocated to Colma, in San Mateo County. (By John Osborne)
