New Orleans at a Glance
Known asAmerica's most distinctive city — the French Quarter, Mardi Gras, the birthplace of jazz, beignets and po'boys, streetcars and a culture all its own
Founded1718
CurrencyUS Dollar (USD)
Local pride: New Orleans' St. Charles Avenue streetcar has been running since 1835, making it the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world — and much of the city it rolls through sits below sea level, kept dry by levees and giant pumps. Jazz was born here around 1900, and the city's "second line" parades still take over the streets most Sundays.
