A Brief History of Mid-City
Once a backswamp turned bustling corridor, Mid-City began to flourish in the early 20th century as transportation expanded and streetcar lines connected it to the rest of New Orleans. It quickly became a hub for craftsmen, families, and small businesses — a middle ground, both geographically and socially, between the old city and its growing outskirts. Over the years, Mid-City has preserved its architectural charm and local pride while embracing thoughtful growth and revitalization. Today, it’s a neighborhood where heritage and modernity live side by side — deeply New Orleans, yet entirely its own.
