Marigny & Bywater History

An artistic hub finds itself in this historic area of New Orleans

Designated as an official Historic District, the Faubourg Marigny is filled with stunning and well-preserved historical buildings and landmarks. Originally a residential neighborhood filled with Creole cottages, the Marigny’s geographical location soon transformed the neighborhood into a small business and industrial area. In more recent years, the Marigny and Bywater has experienced another major transformation into a trendy, affordable neighborhood for residents with restaurants, music clubs, art and B&Bs.
