Cementerio de la Chacarita in Buenos Aires, Argentina, known as the National Cemetery, was opened during a yellow fever epidemic in 1871. In the 1800s, a large number of British nationals came to Argentina to work in the many areas of the economy in which Britain then had extensive interests. Many of these expatriates were buried in the Victoria Cemetery in Buenos Aires but when this cemetery closed in 1892 a section of the Chacarita Cemetery was designated as the British Cemetery. In addition, there is a German section.
