The Mississippi River is aptly called “Father of Waters” and is the largest River in North America. This vast and wild wonder of water is not only a geographic force, but the unabridged story of us; a complex, contentious, and often complicated tapestry, twisted and tested in the bends and curves that charted the course of Louisiana’s rich cultural history.

As these brackish, baritone waters have touched and forged the will of man, machine, and enterprise, we stand today and bear witness to the sound of thousands upon thousands of lives flowing together: our past, our present, and our destiny.

True to form, we are not like other cities, and the River District is unlike other catalytic developments. Intentional and inspired, it is inclusive by design, a once-in-a-lifetime boost for our economy and a singular opportunity to create history and redefine our future while embracing our culture, celebrating our resilience, and reconciling our shared past.
