New Orleans, Louisiana was founded in 1718 by the French Mississippi Company, on Chitimacha tribal land. It was named for French Regent Philippe II, the Duke of Orléans. Forty-five years later, France’s Louisiana colony was given to the Spanish Empire, as part of the 1763 Treaty of Paris.
1803 saw the city changing hands again. It was temporarily back in the possession of the French, until Napoleon agreed to sell the territory to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase. In the melting pot tradition of America, this change broadened the ethnic influences of the town from primarily French, Spanish, and Filipino to include Creole, Italian, African, Haitian, German, Irish, and Polish immigrants. Aided by Jean Lafitte’s privateers and Choctaw warriors, these varied peoples banded together to repel the British invasion during the Battle of New Orleans.
Despite the influx of people from many parts of the world, the French influence in New Orleans has remained strong for two centuries. New Orleans also developed a reputation as a party town, with the boisterous celebration of Mardi Gras (“Fat Tuesday”) its preeminent festival. Although the city has weathered hard times, harsh economic conditions, and cataclysmic storms, its resilient residents overcome these calamities and carry on with an indomitable spirit.
