>From our resident map and street expert, Norm: Orleans Parish was an original parish when Louisiana became a state in 1812. In 1825, Jefferson Parish was created from part of Orleans Parish. A map showing the changes in Louisiana's parish boundaries can be found here: http://www.mylouisianagenealogy.com/la_maps.htm As New Orleans expanded upriver, communities along the river that originally were in Jefferson Parish were added to New Orleans (and Orleans Parish). The boundaries of the city and the parish are coterminous. The incorporated areas added to New Orleans were: 1852 City of Lafayette 1870 Jefferson City 1874 City of Carrollton Penny ----- Original Message ----- From: "calyx& corolla" <calyxcorolla@hotmail.com> I asked the same question several weeks ago but there were no responses
