Cemetery Description: Hebrew Cemetery was established and administered by Congregation Beth El from 1850 to 1957 at which time the city took over. A previous Jewish cemetery at Powder Point in Berkley was small and had become overcrowded so the new cemetery at Princess Anne Road & Tidewater Drive was opened and the Powder Point interments were relocated there.
