A product of the Mississippi River’s delta system, the area that is now Jefferson Parish resulted from the river’s deposit of sediment into the gulf as its course continued to change. The resulting diverse topography consists of natural land ridges, bayous, swamps, lakes, bays and islands. The Parish was established in 1825, and at that time it extended west to east from St. Charles Parish to present‐day Felicity Street in New Orleans. However, to accommodate its growing population, Orleans Parish annexed property from Jefferson Parish’s eastern side. By1874, the current boundaries of Jefferson Parish were set. The parish is bounded by Orleans Parish and Plaquemines Parish to the east, the Gulf of Mexico to the south, St. Charles Parish to the west and Lake Pontchartrain (St. Tammany Parish) to the north. The Mississippi River bisects the parish into two parts that are locally termed the east bank and west bank. The east bank of Jefferson Parish is generally North of the Mississippi River and is composed of the unincorporated areas of Metairie and Jefferson, primarily, and the incorporated cites of Kenner and Harahan. The west bank, located south of the Mississippi River, contains the unincorporated areas of Marrero, Harvey, Terrytown, Crown Point, Lafitte and Waggaman, while Gretna, Westwego and Jean Lafitte are incorporated. The incorporated Town of Grand Isle located on a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico forms the parish’s southernmost boundary. Over the years, Jefferson Parish has transitioned from a rural parish comprised of farmland and vast undeveloped tracts, to New Orleans’ first suburb from the 1950’s to the 1970’s, to its current status as an urban business center and one of the
