2nd Ward of New Orleans

2nd Ward of New Orleans

The 2nd Ward or Second Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana is one of the 17 Wards of New Orleans.

Boundaries

The Ward fronts the Mississippi River. The down river or "lower" boundary (in this case, to the north east) is Julia Street, across which is the 3rd Ward. The boundary continues inland from the end of Julia, originally delineated by the New Basin Canal, now I-10 over the former route of the filled in canal. The upper boundary is Thalia Street, across which is the 1st Ward, then Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (formerly Melpomene Avenue), across from which are portions of the 10th and 11th Wards, the Washington Avenue, across which is the 14th Ward.

Cityscape and landmarks

The area along the riverfront was part of the Old Warehouse District. The ward encompasses the upper portion of the New Orleans Central Business District, including Lee Circle, as well as a sliver of the Lower Garden District. Further inland the Ward continues through part of the Central City, including a number of housing projects.
