History
The name Tchoupitoulas Street originates from the extinct Native American tribe, Chapitoulas which literally means, “those who live by the river”. Ironically, the street is the closest one to the Mississippi River. The Chapitoulas Indians mainly moved up and down river trade routes during the hunting season in the 1600 and 1700s. The original inhabitants of the New Orleans land were all Native American tribes such as the Chitimacha, Atakapa, and the Caddo. Throughout its history, Tchoupitoulas mainly served as an access point for river traffic and industry in the city. However, as more and more people immigrated and started living in New Orlean, Tchoupitoulas slowly turned into a residential and commercial area.
