It was founded in 1718 by the French. In 1762, Spain gained control, until France regained it in 1800, only to sell it to the United States three years later in the Louisiana Purchase (Geez, people! Make up your mind!)
With huge cotton and sugar plantations and the thriving port, New Orleans boomed with trade and, by 1860, was the wealthiest city in the country.
**Info was gathered from various sites, put in my words, with only what I thought was cool.**

You've got great pictures and you have done a great job of covering New Orleans. Of course, the question remains, is it still the same as when you took these pictures?
lovely page! and great pictures
I loved it here, will definately be going back some day!
Love this page - I'll be back again to see the rest of it. Thanks for the guided tour of this fascinating place. Great restaurant tips too.
Party is over now, huh? Will New Orleans ever recover fully? Hope your family is OK.
Excellent information you gave. 9 of us are headed to NO 10/27/05-11/1/05.
Love the mouse writing. Makes the geography so clear
What a great New Orleans page. I really enjoyed it. I went to a couple of Sugar Bowls and loved it there.
Sounds like a real fun time here! Just booked my flight for October - we wanted to wait till after the worst of the summer heat, but now I'm wanting to go sooner!!!
Great page and very lively! I love the brilliant opening night pic.
