It was a cypress forest that backed up to a swamp where Jean Baptiste le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville decided to establish his settlement on the Mississippi river in 1718. It was not feasible to bring building materials from France to construct La Nouvelle Orleans so he did the only practical thing anyone would do.
