Mardi Gras is closely associated with the brothers Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville and Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville due to their foundational role in the establishment of New Orleans and the French colonial influence in the region. Bienville, who became the governor of Louisiana, helped develop the city where Mardi Gras festivities flourished, while Iberville, his brother, was instrumental in the exploration and colonization of the area. The vibrant celebrations of Mardi Gras reflect the French heritage and traditions that these brothers helped establish in Louisiana. Their legacy continues to influence the cultural and social fabric of Mardi Gras today.

I would have to say that French Explorer Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville created Mardi Gras in New Orleans. But basically the Christians (Roman Catholic Church) created it. To celebrate the start of Lent. If you translate Mardi Gras to English it means Fat Tuesday.

No, actually Mardi Gras originated somewhere in Europe. The first American "Mardi Gras" WAS in Louisiana:" the first American Mardi Gras took place on March 3, 1699, when the French explorers Iberville and Bienville landed in what is now Louisiana, just south of the holiday's future epicenter: New Orleans. They held a small celebration and dubbed the spot Point du Mardi Gras." The first recorded American Mardi Gras PARADE was in Mobile, AL in 1703. Also, I'd just like to make you all aware that Mardi Gras is recognized as a legal holiday ONLY in Louisiana, its ours, baby, deal.
