About New Orleans, LA
New Orleans is a city rich in history, culture, and music, shaped by centuries of global influence. Founded in 1718 as a French colony along the Mississippi River, Louisiana was later governed by both France and Spain before becoming part of the United States through the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. These European roots, combined with African, Caribbean, and Creole traditions, created a culture unlike anywhere else in the country — reflected in the city’s architecture, cuisine, language, and celebrations. New Orleans is also known as the birthplace of jazz, where musicians blended diverse musical traditions in the early 1900s to create a sound that would shape music around the world. From brass bands to second lines, music remains at the heart of the city’s spirit, bringing people together to celebrate life’s most joyful moments. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do <3
