    We Live Here (and Work Here): The Central Business District

    Metadata Updated: January 13, 2026

    We live here (and work here), in the Central Business District – the vibrant heart of New Orleans commerce, government, and increasingly, residential life. Our area, originally carved from Bienville's plantation as Faubourg St. Marie, rose in the early 19th century as the "American Sector," a bustling counterpoint to the French Quarter. Fueled by the cotton and sugar trade, packed with American-style brick townhouses, and centered around landmarks like the grand St. Charles Hotel and Canal Street's burgeoning retail scene, this became the city's primary engine of growth.
