Nestled on the west bank of the Mississippi River, Algiers Point is one of New Orleans’s oldest and most picturesque neighborhoods. Established in 1719, just a year after the founding of the city itself, Algiers has long been a significant part of New Orleans’ cultural and industrial history. Once a bustling hub for shipbuilding and trade, Algiers Point was the site of New Orleans' first naval yard in the 19th century. Its strategic location served as a gateway for goods and passengers arriving by riverboat, contributing to the city's growth.

Today, Algiers Point is known for its charming 19th-century architecture, with beautifully preserved Creole cottages and Victorian-style homes lining its quiet streets. The neighborhood offers a peaceful retreat from the busy French Quarter, connected to downtown by a scenic ferry ride.
