The First Reformed Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was organized in 1798 by the Reformed Presbyterian Church denomination. It established a burial ground on Rodman Street between 6th and 7th Streets at its founding. After 1823, the burial ground was sold to the Second African Presbyterian Church. Burials from the Second African Presbyterian congregation were partially moved to the now-defunct Lebanon and Olive Cemeteries in 1863, and the site was made a city park in 1893. Today, it is the Starr Garden.
A second burial ground, on 11th Street, North of Chestnut, was purchased in 1817 and removed in 1850. The site later became a commercial theater and upon demolition of that theater in 1911, a casket dated 1828 was unearthed.
