"The Crescent City"
New Orleans is called the Crescent City because the original town-the Vieux Carré, also called the French Quarter-was built at a sharp bend in the Mississippi River.
SOCCER IN NEW ORLEANS
“Louisiana is one of the first places in the world where soccer was played. Beginning as a game played by a working class immigrant population in the 1850s, soccer has a long and, until now, unappreciated history in Louisiana. The game migrated to the elite athletic clubs of New Orleans and Shreveport during the 1890s. By 1907, New Orleans boasted a professional soccer league that sent several players to the top professional leagues in Europe.” – Scott Crawford “A History of Soccer in Louisiana: 1858-2013“
