Description
The French Quarter, also known as the Vieux Carre, is the oldest neighborhood in the city of New Orleans. When New Orleans (La Nouvelle-Orleans in French) was founded in 1718 by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, the city was originally centered on the French Quarter, or the Vieux Carre ("Old Square" in French) as it was known then. While the area is still referred to as the Vieux Carre by some, it is more commonly known as the French Quarter today, or simply "The Quarter." The district as a whole is a National Historic Landmark, and contains numerous individual historic buildings. It was affected relatively lightly by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, as compared to other areas of the city and the greater region.
