Did you know?
2018 marks New Orleans’ tricentennial! In 1718, the Frenchman Sieur de Bienville founded a strategic
port city five feet below sea level, near the juncture of the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico. The new city,
or ville, was named La nouvelle Orleans for Philippe, Duc d'Orleans, and centered around the Place d'Armes
(later to be known as Jackson Square). The original city was confined to the area we now call the French
Quarter or Vieux Carre (Old Square). For more informa on, visit the New Orleans CVB website at
