Discover the History of Tremé After New Orleans was founded in 1718, the area just lakeside of the French Quarter became the site of the Morand Plantation and brickyard. Nearby, Congo Square—then known as “Place des Nègres”—served as a vital gathering place for enslaved men and women. In 1812, Claude Tremé subdivided this land, giving birth to what is now known as the Tremé neighborhood—a historic and enduring symbol of African-American culture, resilience, and creativity. Don’t miss this unforgettable celebration of music, food, art, and history in one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods.
