We Live Here: Bayou St. John - Rooted by the Water
We live here, in Bayou St. John, a neighborhood drawing its name and identity from the historic waterway winding along its western edge. Our roots run deep, back to when the Choctaw knew this waterway as Bayouk Choupic, a vital path for trade and life long before Europeans arrived. "The portage road was the earliest path from the river to the lake and was used by the Native Americans before the French began exploring the area. With the coming of the French colonizers, it became the main road for bringing supplies and people to the new settlement on the Mississippi. During the late 1700′s and first half of the 1800′s, it became the fashionable road of the area, along which many lovely homes were built, most of them two-story plantation type homes." This area, along with Gentilly, is one of the earliest and most fashionable suburbs of New Orleans. The ancient connection to water, shaped through eras of French and Spanish settlement, Voodoo traditions near the "Wishing Spot," and the development of Faubourg St. John by planners like Barthelemy Lafon in the early 1800s, still defines us.
We Live Here: Bywater - Between the River and the Canal
We live here, in Bywater, a neighborhood uniquely defined by water, bordering both the Mississippi River and the Industrial Canal. How our name came about isn't perfectly clear – maybe an old telephone exchange, maybe a student contest entry highlighting our location – but it stuck after being used by area promoters in 1947. Our history stretches back to the 18th Century, evolving from early French plantations like LaBrasserie/Daunois, through the development of several distinct faubourgs (like Daunois, Montegut, and De Clouet) collectively known as Faubourg Washington. The massive Levee Steam Cotton Press, once the world's largest, was a major economic engine here along Press Street, leaving a lasting impact even after its departure.
We Live Here: Audubon - Parkside Living, University Life
We live here in Audubon, a neighborhood whose identity is inextricably linked with stunning, tree-lined streets, the expansive green space of Audubon Park, and the prestigious campuses of Tulane and Loyola universities. Our community developed into the established residential area we cherish today, significantly shaped when the Foucher Plantation land became the foundation for our beloved park (site of the 1884 World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition) and the universities that energize our neighborhood.
We Live Here: Algiers - A Village on the River
We live here in Algiers, New Orleans' second oldest neighborhood, established in 1719 just across the Mississippi from the French Quarter. Our lives are shaped by the river – historically serving as the port's crucial "support side" for shipbuilding (since 1819), dry docks, and railroads. We also bear the painful history of being a holding area for enslaved Africans. Today, the river defines us through the stunning views of the Mississippi and the enduring connection with The French Quarter via the Algiers Ferry, running continuously since 1827. This gives us our unique village feeling, a world away, yet minutes from downtown.

We Live Here (and Work Here): The Central Business District
We live here (and work here), in the Central Business District – the vibrant heart of New Orleans commerce, government, and increasingly, residential life. Our area, originally carved from Bienville's plantation as Faubourg St. Marie, rose in the early 19th century as the "American Sector," a bustling counterpoint to the French Quarter. Fueled by the cotton and sugar trade, packed with American-style brick townhouses, and centered around landmarks like the grand St. Charles Hotel and Canal Street's burgeoning retail scene, this became the city's primary engine of growth.
We Live Here: Dixon - A Compact Community with Vital Connections
We live here in Dixon, a neighborhood also known as North Hollygrove. Historically part of the Carrollton area, Dixon was slow to develop due to nearby railroads and industrial activity. Our community began to take its contemporary form in the early to mid-20th century when the area experienced significant growth. By 1949, it had become the residential area of single and two-family homes that exists today.
