History
Hampton National Cemetery is located in Hampton, VA, near Hampton Roads, in the vicinity of where the historic Civil War naval battle between the Confederate Merrimac/Virginia and the Union Monitor iron-clad ships occurred in 1862.
The cemetery's first burials took place in 1862 and the cemetery is among numerous national cemeteries with origins that date to the Civil War.
The great number of sick and wounded soldiers during the Civil War resulted in numerous military hospitals being set up near battle sites.
A 1,800-bed military hospital was established at Fort Monroe, near Hampton.
Although the Fort Monroe hospital was better staffed and organized than many Civil War hospitals, the mortality rate was high.
Monuments and memorials
The Union Soldiers monument is a 65' tall granite obelisk that was erected through the efforts of Dorothea Dix, the superintendent of women nurses in the U.S. Army during the Civil War.
In 1868 Dix transferred ownership of the monument to the United States.
Medal of Honor
Medal of Honor recipients VA lists as interred or memorialized here include Landsman Michael Cassidy (Civil War); Ordinary Seaman John Davis (Peacetime); Coal Heaver James R. Garrison (Civil War).
