Introducción
El Partido de San Vicente en 1810 era principalmente ganadero pero a fines de la década de 1830 establecieron varias familias británicas orientadas a la cría del lanar, como los Harat y los Sheridan. Como consecuencia, a partir de 1840 se intensifica la cría del lanar en toda la provincia. Es así como en 1854 se convierte en el mayor productor de la zona con 558.000 cabezas.

En fecha cercana a 1862 comenzó la suscripción para la construcción del cementerio del pueblo de San Vicente, destinado a la inhumación de Católicos y un sector destinado a Protestantes.

En 1864 se conformó una comisión integrada J. J. Garat, Faustino Molinero, Andrés Iriarte, José Santos Pardo, Floro Lavalle, Alejandro León, Cornelio Domselaar, Ramón Fernández, José Ochando, Guillermo Cow, Adolfo Korn y Diego Laurie (los dos últimos representados de la comunidad protestante).

En 1865 casí había finalizado la construcción de la obra, efectuandose la inauguración el 4 de marzo de 1866. Por las anotaciones en el libro no hay duda que fueron trasladados restos exhumados de otros sitios.

En la actualidad casí no quedan rastros de las tumbas del sector Protestante. y los libros originales de las inhumaciones se encuentran el la Secretaría de Cultura de la Municipalidad de San Vicente.

Introduction
Cattle ranching was the main type of agriculture in the San Vicente Partido in 1810, but by the end of the 1830s various British families, such as the Harratts and the Sheridans, were settling there in order to rear sheep. As a consequence, sheep farming was spreading throughout the Province of Buenos Aires during the 1840s. By 1854, it became the most important produce of the zone, with 558,000 head of sheep.

In about 1862, funds began to be collected for the establishment of a cemetery in the small town of San Vicente, providing both a burial place for Catholics and a separate section for Protestants.

In 1864 a committee was formed, composed of J. J. Garat, Faustino Molinero, Andrés Iriarte, José Santos Pardo, Floro Lavalle, Alejandro León, Cornelio Domselaar, Ramón Fernández, José Ochando, Guillermo Cow, Adolfo Korn y James Laurie, the two last representatives of the Protestant community.

By the end of 1865, the work was nearly complete and on 4th March 1866, the San Vicente Cemetery was formally opened. In the register of burials, some entries undoubtedly relate to those people whose mortal remains were brought there for reburial from other places.

Today, there are no vestiges to be seen of the Protestant section, it having been closed in the 1930s. The register of burials is all that remains; it is be found in the Department of Culture in the San Vicente Municipality.
