Mount Olive Cemetary
In 1862 the members of Mother AUMP Church,
also known as the Union Church of African
Members, purchased property at the corner
of Lancaster Avenue and Union Street in Wilmington
for the purpose of establishing a cemetery. In
1914 the Church sold the property, then known
as St. Peter'’ Cemetery, for the construction
of Bancroft Parkway. Remains were disinterred
and reburied at Mount Olive. Many prominent
citizens and community leaders are buried
here. In 1980 the Friends of Mount Olive
Cemetery was established to provide ongoing
care and maintenance.
