Who was the founder of New Orleans Louisiana?

Answer 1

The French Mississippi Company under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville on 1718.

There has been much debate on the actual date of the founding. We know that Bienville received his commission from paris to be the newly appointed govenor of the territory of Louisiana on Feb 09 1718. He was said to have departed immediately from the capitol in Biloxi to begin preparations for the building of a city. In 1918 the Louisiana Historical Society adopted a resolution establishing a "Founding date" of Feb 11 1718

Answer 2

Louisiana was claimed for France in 1682, and two brothers of the surname Le Moyne, formally known as Sieur d'Iberville and Sieur de Bienville, founded New Orleans seventeen years later. La Nouvelle Orléans was named in honor of the Duke of Orleans, France's ruling regent until the young Louis XV could take the throne, but the French name was also chosen to encourage French settlers who would have balked at coming to a place with an Indian name like Biloxi or Natchitoches. Two French engineers laid out the first 66 squares of a walled village, what later would be known as the French Quarter or the Vieux Carré (Old City). Streets were named after lesser royalty in the Duke's court. Indian hunters, German farmers, and trappers traded their goods in a clearing where the French Market stands today.
