Why this spot
1793 to early 1800s Spanish Upper Louisiana village
New Bourbon was founded in 1793 under Spanish rule for French royalist families from Gallipolis, Ohio, and served as seat of the New Bourbon District, home to exiled French nobles. It was a planned village with a church and common fields, but little of it remains.View source →
