Garden District New Orleans, Developed in 1832-1900 from larger plantations.
The Garden District in New Orleans was developed in the prior before the Civil War and 1900. The area was formerly plantations that were divided into several homes per block with large gardens thus giving it the name of the Garden District. Wealthy English speaking residents moved to the area and loved to show off their new wealth. Over time many of the homes with large gardens were subdivided into small plots, thus increasing the variety of homes you see today.
