    We Live Here: Bywater - Between the River and the Canal

    Metadata Updated: January 13, 2026

    We live here, in Bywater, a neighborhood uniquely defined by water, bordering both the Mississippi River and the Industrial Canal. How our name came about isn't perfectly clear – maybe an old telephone exchange, maybe a student contest entry highlighting our location – but it stuck after being used by area promoters in 1947. Our history stretches back to the 18th Century, evolving from early French plantations like LaBrasserie/Daunois, through the development of several distinct faubourgs (like Daunois, Montegut, and De Clouet) collectively known as Faubourg Washington. The massive Levee Steam Cotton Press, once the world's largest, was a major economic engine here along Press Street, leaving a lasting impact even after its departure.
