The city of New Orleans
was founded on May 7, 1718, by the French owned Company of the West
(formerly the Mississippi Company). Named for Philippe d'Orleans,
the Duke of Orleans, the city stayed within French control until it was
ceded to Spain in 1763. In 1801 the city changed hands again, when the
French regained control - though this was short lived. Napoleon sold the
Louisiana Territory to the United States in 1803, and New Orleans
experienced a population boom shortly thereafter. It is currently the
largest city in Louisiana, and is one of the most unique cities in the
country. This beautiful map provides a look at the early days of the
city. Complete reference list below.
