Did you know New Orleans was old? Like really old? 😆
Founded by the French in 1718, NOLA is 306 years old!

Here is a fun, high-resolution map from 1928 showing some of the changes the French Quarter has gone thru over the years and some of the buildings that have stood the test of time!

“There are many quaint & interesting old buildings that are omitted for lack of space or because they are comparatively unimportant.
The patient sight seer will be richly rewarded.”

New Orleans almost feels timeless.

Take a tour with us today and discover for yourself what riches you will uncover in it’s long history!

Thanks, The Historic New Orleans Collection, for the map!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from everyone here at Hottest Hell!

Although it is not our favorite holiday of the year, we all love to eat! 😆🍗🥗🍤🍰🍪❤️

We will be closed for Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving so our guides can spend the day with their families and loved ones.

Don’t worry! There is plenty of other stuff to do!

Head out to the New Orleans Fairgrounds for the 100th annual Thanksgiving Classic, a derby that will kick off the racing season. Dress up in your best attire (complete with hat or fascinator) and let the mint juleps fly back on a day at the track.

Or for a more humane option, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., head to Easton Park in Mid-City for some family fun. The Human Horse Races is a fundraiser where people dress as horses and race each other, all while raising money for a horse sanctuary. There will be live music and trophies for all winners of races and gift baskets up for raffle.

Once the meal has been eaten and the dishes are done, start a new tradition this Thanksgiving and explore New Orleans.

New Orleans may have been founded in 1718, but believe it or not, there was already a lot of traffic going through this area! There were multiple native American tribes who were already using the high ground, where New Orleans currently stands, as a trading post of sorts, called Bulbancha!

Bulbancha is an Indigenous Choctaw word that means “place of many tongues” or “place of other languages.” The word refers to the area’s history as a crossroads for trade and cultural interaction between nations.

The area was originally inhabited by the Chitimacha nation and was an important port and trading hub for over 40 different tribes before 1718.

The name is a reminder of the area’s rich history and the importance of acknowledging the Indigenous peoples who have lived there for hundreds of years.

Here is an amazing map showing the native Indigenous peoples, said to be dated from 1720.

New Orleans was still located at the mouth of the river and had not yet been relocated to where it currently stands now! Wow!
