Woodlawn
Historic cemetery district
Woodlawn is a place name shared by numerous neighborhoods, communities, and cemeteries across the United States.
The most prominent include Woodlawn in the Bronx, New York, known for its large Irish-American population and historic Woodlawn Cemetery, and Woodlawn on Chicago's South Side, a historically significant African-American neighborhood.
The name evokes a pastoral setting—a lawn amid woods—typical of 19th-century American place naming.
