Although many towns use the name "Boot Hill", the first graveyard named "Boot Hill" was at Hays, Kansas, five years before the founding of Dodge City, Kansas. [1] The meaning of why cemeteries were called "Boot Hills" has been lost, but there are three plausible reasons.
Originally called Boothill Cemetery, the graveyard was founded in 1878. [4] After a new city cemetery was built elsewhere, the old cemetery stopped accepting new burials in about 1883 (save for very few exceptions) and fell into disrepair until the 1940s, when the city began to restore and preserve it.
