The African-American Cemetery, known historically as the Colored Cemetery, in the town of Montgomery, New York, United States, holds the graves of roughly 100 humans, mostly believed to be African slaves who were brought over by the earliest settlers of the region from the Rhenish Palatinate in the mid-18th century. It is located on NY 416 a tenth of a mile (160 m) north of the Interstate 84 crossing, near the Wallkill River. Read more on Wikipedia
