New Orleans, Louisiana was founded by the French in 1718 by Jean-Baptiste LeMoyne de Bienville. There were trading posts and forts before that. And Native Americans lived there long before the Europeans arrived. The Spanish took over from the French in 1763 when the British defeated the French in Canada. The British sent many French settlers from Canada and moved them to New Orleans. In 1800, Spain gave France back the city because Napoleon was controlling much of Europe. Then Napoleon took advantage of an American offer to buy the city to sell the US the entire Louisiana Territory in 1803. New Orleans was an important trade city because cotton and other crops were sent down the Mississippi River for sale in New Orleans. In the War of 1812, the biggest battle of the war was fought in New Orleans but ironically it happened two weeks after the war was over. General Andrew Jackson fought the British and won.
The most important outcome of the Seven Years War was France's cession to Spain of Louisiana. Spain lost control of Florida to Great Britain but received part of New Orleans and the Louisiana Territory west of the Mississippi River from the French.
