Case Study: The Growth of New Orleans
The City of New Orleans was founded by the French in what was an important but swampy region
of the south along the banks of the Mississippi River. A few short years after its founding, the city
was made the capital of the French territory of Louisiana. It would take another 50 years or so
before fur and game trading was replaced with a more productive industry—sugar. The city's
location at the mouth of the Mississippi River proved useful for moving goods up into the continent as
well as making it easy to trade with Europe. Soon New Orleans was a busy and rapidly growing city,
becoming the seventh most populated city in the New World by 1810.
New Orleans's location in the swamps, while helpful for trade, was not always helpful to people of
the city. New Orleans had problems with flooding and drainage of sewage. Disease spread rapidly
thanks to an also thriving population of mosquitoes. Lack of sanitation and no public water made it
hard to defend against outbreaks of malaria and yellow fever outbreaks of which occurred as
recently as 1905.
What happened to the population of New Orleans between 1810 and 1830?
Between 1810 and 1830, the population of New Orleans almost doubled.
Between 1810 and 1830, the population of New Orleans more than doubled.
Between 1810 and 1830, the population of New Orleans decreased from the 5th to the 7th
most populated city in the U.S.
Between 1810 and 1830, the population of New Orleans increased slightly causing it to
change from the 7th to the 5th most populated city in the U.S.
