Orleans is one of the few American cities that has been under three
flags, New Orleans has belonged to Spain, France, and the United States.
The French founded it in 1718 and named it in honor of the Duke of
Orleans. In 1762, France ceded the city and the territory to Spain.
In 1800, the territory was returned to France, but government authorities
did not take over until 1803, just 20 days before the region became
part of the United States in the Louisiana Purchase. |
