CELEBRATING

WELCOME TO NEW ORLEANS!
THE CITY

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more rich and culturally diverse city anywhere in America than New
Orleans. Founded in 1718 by French colonialists, La Nouvelle-Orléans – as it was then known – later drew
its influences not only from the French but also the Spanish, Native American, African and Caribbean
cultures. Today, this multi-cultural melting pot is evident in nearly every aspect of the Crescent City (a
nickname that stemmed from the French Quarter, now the historic heart of the city, being constructed on a
sharp bend in the Mississippi River) – but most famously in its music, cuisine and architecture.

While known the world over for its Mardi Gras celebrations each year, there is much, much more of New
Orleans to explore and enjoy. Be sure to make time while you’re in town for Barrett-Jackson to discover
why the city is indeed a one-of-a-kind destination.
