Ever since Katrina devastated New Orleans, I have been wondering about
this city. Do any of you know about how this place was settled?
Specifically, when the city was founded, was it a "swampy" area? What made
people settle there? When hurricanes/storms/floods came, didn't it take a
very long time for this city to dry out? How were the levees developed
over time? I am trying to understand the history and development of this
city, of which I have never visited. I personally could never live in a
place that is below sea level.
