Gumbo originated in New Orleans, Louisiana and was created by the French, but enhanced by contributions of several cultures. These cultures included the Cajuns (first known as the Canadian immigrants), the French, Choctaw tribesmen, African-Americans, Spaniards, Italians, and Germans. The dish itself is based on the French soup known as bouillabaisse. However, the dish's name is from the French interpretation of the West African name of Okra.
