Marlboro State Psychiatric Hospital Patient Cemetery
Over 940 patients died at Marlboro and most were buried at a small cemetery across the highway from the Main facility.
Marlboro State Psychiatric Hospital opened in 1931 to relieve crowding in existing state and psychiatric facilities. Unlike Trenton State and Greystone Park with their imposing central buildings, Marlboro was built on the cottage plan, with smaller, freestanding dormitories and treatment buildings.
The patient cemetery opened in 1931. A 12-foot by 20-foot pavilion lists the names of almost a thousand patients buried in this cemetery between 1931 and 1960.
The pavilion was put in place in 1991, when the hospital celebrated its 60th anniversary. The names of the buried are listed on bronze plaques, so that they can be matched to the numbered graves. In 1997 Monmouth County bought the land on the south side of Route 520 from the State of New Jersey for $4 million, but the cemetery was excluded from this transaction.
Marlboro State Psychiatric Hospital closed on June 30, 1998. Its patient records are maintained by Trenton Psychiatric Hospital.
