English: The Sotelo-Heard Cemetery was established in 1896 and located at 12th Street and Broadway Road just south of Broadway on 12th street next to the Phoenix Collegiate Academy Charter High School parking lot. Hundreds of Mexican laborers and their children were buried near 12th St. and Broadway Road from the late 1880's to the 1920's. The cemetery received heavy use between 1896 and 1922 in a community where a majority of the residents were of Mexican descent and settled, farmed, or dug irrigation canals in the Lower Salt RiverValley. Many were laborers on the Bartlett-Heard Ranch or other Anglo-owned ranches in the area. The cemetery was listed in the Phoenix Historic Property Register in October 2007. Throughout the years, grave robbers and kids trampled on the headstones and destroyed them. The site is in complete state of abandoment.
