The history of New Orleans, Louisiana traces the city's development from its founding by the French, through its period under Spanish control, then briefly back to French rule before being acquired by the United States in the Louisiana Purchase. In the 19th century, it was the largest port in the South, exporting most of the nation's cotton output and other products to Western Europe and New England.
