Due to the expanding needs of the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad in Rockford, Illinois, Greenwood Cemetery began as a way to centralize the existing burial grounds and freeing up space for the railroad's expansion. Bodies were relocated from the three previous sites, centralizing burials in one single location. Over time, the cemetery grew to its current size of over 100 acres.
