Hart Island is located at the western end of Long Island Sound, in the northeastern Bronx in New York City, measuring approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) long by 0.33 miles (0.53 km) wide.
Overview
The remains of more than one million people are buried on Hart Island, though since the first decade of the 21st century, there are fewer than 1,500 burials a year. Burials on Hart Island include individuals who were not claimed by their families or did not have private funerals; the homeless and the indigent; and mass burials of disease victims.
The island's first public use was as a training ground for the United States Colored Troops in 1864. Since then, Hart Island has been the location of a Union Civil War prison camp, a psychiatric institution, a tuberculosis sanatorium, a mass burial site, a homeless shelter, a boys' reformatory, a jail, and a drug rehabilitation center.
