Durante la gobernación del Brigadier General Don Martín Rodríguez, siendo ministro de Gobierno Don Bernardino Rivadavia, como consecuencia de la expulsión de los monjes recoletos por la reforma general del orden eclesiástico y dado el aumento de la población, su huerto se transformó en el primer cementerio público que se inauguró el 17 noviembre de 1822.
