Washington Square Park in New York City is believed to contain the remains of around 20,000 individuals. This is primarily due to its history as a burial ground in the 18th and early 19th centuries, when it served as a potter's field for the city's poor and unclaimed bodies. While the park underwent significant transformations over the years, remnants of these burials remain beneath the surface.
