Along the English Turn Road.
Local History about the English Turn
Following LaSalle’s discovery in the late 17th Century, the French returned to the area named Louisiana and established its first permanent settlement. Led by Pierre Iberville and his 18-year old brother, Jean Bapitiste Bienville, a location at a crescent bend in the Mississippi was chosen as an ideal site to establish a settlement approximately 85 miles upriver. The Mississippi was to become a key access to Central North American. In 1699, Bienville and a several French soldiers departed the small village heading downriver in a small boat. Approximately 10 miles downriver from New Orleans, they came upon a large English ship loaded with soldiers and supplies heading upriver. The English were as interested in gaining a foothold on the Mississippi River and this new territory as were the French. The quick-thinking Bienville, advised the English that the French had in fact established a substantial fort and arsenal just upriver. The English Captain believed this lie and turned his ship around toward the south and Gulf of Mexico in order to avoid a confrontation with the French. The location on the river where this reverse took place was very proudly proclaimed by the French as English Turn.
