What a glorious History. I spent a large portion of my life living in New Orleans in Gentilly,enjoying the Lakefront. Thank you for such a historical review. I knew most of it but learned a lot of details from this video.
Tourists and most locals don't seem to visit here often which is fine with the folks that live near here. I would love to go back in time to see it full of activity! Thanks for watching 👍
Thank You. My Great Grand Ma used to tell me stories about the fort. I learn a lot more about Spanish Fort by watching your video then i did reading about it. I grew up in the New Orleans area, '' Down the Bayou'' . My Family are some of the 1st families to settle in New Orleans . Some of My Great Great Great Grandparents are buried in St. Louis Cathedral.
Thanks for watching and you have a great family history that likely has some very amazing stories that connect to many interesting times in old New Orleans.
NOLA native: 50s and 60s: Amazing. For us, Spanish Fort was a free, party, picnic area with mild historic curiosity / interest. It was surrounded by upscale housing. I don't suppose any of my group thought the area had ever been anything but a primitive, remote, undeveloped sight - save for the abandoned fort. How little we understood.
One of the cannons from the fort is still in the front yard of one of the houses across the street. Definitely a lot of amazing things happened in this area that you would never know by just looking at it. They really need a more detailed plaque that includes more of the history and maybe some pictures. I would guess the people in the neighborhood like that it is mostly a secret locals spot and few tourists will ever know about this location. Thanks for watching 👍
I just discovered this fort! We live very close and I am fascinated by the rich history. Is there any more information about the fort and about the grave of sancho Pablo?
I’ll sub if you promise to drop the t off of corondelet. 😂 Nice documentary, I had no idea there was that much stuff built up around that fort. I grew up on the Gulf Coast and passed by there many times but never got the chance to explore it.
I lived on Carondelet street in the Garden District a long time and everybody in New Orleans I know puts the "t" in it. Nothing in NOLA is pronounced correctly on average. Absolutely no proper French pronunciation for all the French names or Spanish for the Spanish names etc. My friends that live in the same neighborhood as the fort all put the T in it as well so seems it is NOLA speech. Your experience could vary of course. 😀

Other than Google I don't know where more could be as most of the history I could find I put into this video.
