new France and Louisiana
New Orleans and Louisiana were originally owned by France, which claimed the territory in the early 18th century. France ceded Louisiana to Spain in 1763 after losing the French and Indian War but regained it in 1800 through the secret Treaty of San Ildefonso. In 1803, France sold Louisiana to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase, expanding U.S. territory significantly. This acquisition effectively transferred ownership from France to the U.S. and solidified American control over the region.
