New Orleans Neighborhoods #18 - Tremé-Lafitte
New Orleans Neighborhoods #18 - Tremé-Lafitte
Tremé is a neighborhood of the city of New Orleans, in the U.S. state of
Louisiana. "Tremé" is often rendered as Treme, and historically the
neighborhood is sometimes called by its more formal French names of
Faubourg Tremé; it is listed in the New Orleans City Planning Districts
as Tremé / Lafitte when including the Lafitte Projects. Originally known
as "Back of Town", urban planners renamed the neighborhood "Faubourg
Tremé" in an effort to revitalize the historic area. A subdistrict of
the Mid-City District Area, its boundaries as defined by the City
Planning Commission are Esplanade Avenue to the east, North Rampart
Street to the south, St. Louis Street to the west and North Broad Street
to the north. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, and
early in the city's history was the main neighborhood of free people of
color. Historically a racially mixed neighborhood, it remains an
important center of the city's African-American and Créole culture,
especially the modern brass band tradition.
