There is no definitive 'smoking gun' as to how New Orleans got the name 'The Big Easy', but it appears to have originated in the 1920s or possibly earlier. The most common theories relate to New Orleans being a relatively laid-back and lax city, with low prices, plentiful work opportunities, and relaxed laws.
