Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery in the city of San Antonio in Bexar County, Texas. It encompasses 154.7 acres, and as of the end of 2005, had 110,123 interments.
Although the Army post in the area was established in 1875, and construction of Fort Sam Houston was constructed the following year, no burials were made in the area that is currently the cemetery until 1926. In 1931 an additional 60 acres were added, and it was considered to be an addition to San Antonio National Cemetery. In 1937, it was made a National Cemetery in its own right and renamed to Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. In 1947 several other Forts in Texas, including Fort McIntosh, were closed and their cemetery interments were transferred to Fort Sam Houston.
