The French Quarter, also known as Vieux Carré, which translates to "Old Square" in French, is the historic heart of New Orleans and home to the oldest residential community in America, with over 4,000 residents and 15 million visitors annually.

The area it occupies is the same military-style grid of seventy squares that French Canadian naval officer Jean Baptiste Bienville designated as the original City of New Orleans.
