In 1699 French Canadian settler Pierre D'Ibeville made camp on the Mighty Mississippi for an easy-going night and coined Point Du Mardi Gras, approximately 60 miles south of the site of the current crescent shaped city. The city now boasts the largest annual carnival and festivities of the south, beginning each year on January 6th, celebrating presentation of gifts by the 3 wise men to the Christ child.
