Description: Jackson Square, or the Place d’Armes, as it was originally known, began to take its shape in August 1721, when French engineers laid out a plan for the new colonial capital of La Louisiane. They conceived a fortified town at the bend on the Mississippi River that Bienville had selected in 1718 with the assistance of local Native Americans who had long known the site as one end of a portage between river, bayou, and lake. At the time, it was little more than a cleared patch of canebrake and a scattering of crude huts. The new town would embody the latest engineering principles, including a grid of streets surrounding a central square fronting the river. This was to be the main public gathering place.
