LOWER GARDEN DISTRICT HISTORY

Following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, an increasing number of Americans moved away from the French Quarter to begin their own residential neighborhoods The Lower Garden District was the first, formed when French architect Barthelemy Lafon was hired to subdivide a larger parcel of working farmland into a new Faubourg (suburb). Lafon envisioned a Classical neighborhood with the 3 acre triangular park, known as Coliseum Square, as its focal point. The streets he created around the park were named for the nine Muses of Greek mythology--Clio, Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, Polymnia, Urania, and Calliope.
