Why was New Orleans the economic capital of Lower Louisiana?
Asked by Wiki User
New Orleans has been the state capital of Louisiana three times.
When the territory changed hands from the French to the British, to the Spanish and back to the French again, the government offices were in the most convenient location. In 1849, the current capital at Baton Rouge was established as a midway point between the Gulf Coast towns and the farms in the north of the state. But New Orleans was the capital again during Reconstruction (1866), because there were more Federal troops stationed there.

Why does the city of New Orleans need protection from flooding?
Asked by Wiki User
Most of the city of New Orleans sits on land that is below sea level, because the area was originally shallow swamplands that were drained as the city grew. Once the water was removed, the land compacted somewhat and became even lower. The levees around the various areas of the city keep out the water from the Mississippi River and from the surrounding lakes to the north and east, especially Lake Pontchartrain. Any rainfall must be pumped out, and any breaches in the levees would rapidly flood the city (as has happened in several hurricanes). Only a few areas of the city are slightly higher than mean sea level.
High Ground
When the city was first established by the French in 1718, it occupied the high ground now known as the Vieux Carre (old quarter). Yearly floods had built up sand banks along the river, and New Orleans was the site of a portage from the Mississippi to Lake Pontchartrain, which connects to the Gulf of Mexico. Using the lake to reach New Orleans, ships did not have to come the long way up the Mississippi delta. Conversely, New Orleans was a protected and convenient anchorage when coming downriver, and so became a center of trade.

Why is New Orleans famous?
Asked by Wiki User
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.

Who serves the best breakfast in New Orleans?
Asked by Wiki User
I prefer Dots Diner. They have many locations and are open late at night. The employees go out of their way to cook the food however you like it. Good prices too. I recommend it.
I always head to Camelia Grill, an old-school Southern diner. The original location is in the Garden District and they recently opened a new Camelia Grill in the heart of the French Quarter with the same atmosphere and same great diner style food. Save room for the milkshakes (yes, even at breakfast).
