St. Mark's Cemetery is a historic cemetery located on E. Main Street on the corner of St. Mark's Place in Mount Kisco, Westchester County, New York. The earliest section was established in 1761, and the earliest gravestone to 1773. The last burial was in 1940. Established in 1761, St. Mark's Cemetery served as a burial place for the residents of what was formerly called North Castle and New Castle Corners. The eastern portion of the cemetery was the site of two different churches: St. George's, an Anglican church, from 1761 to 1818, and St. Mark's, an Episcopal church, from 1851 to 1916. The congregations of these two churches used the space around the houses of worship as a burial ground. Additionally, the New Castle Methodist Church, the forerunner of the present United Methodist Church of Mount Kisco, established its own burial ground on the west side of St. Mark's Church in 1854. Both St. Mark's Episcopal Church and United Methodist Church of Mount Kisco deeded their burial grounds to the Village of Mount Kisco in the 1970s, and today the two burial grounds are jointly referred to as St. Mark's Cemetery.
