"Ah! Nouvelle-Orleans! How I have missed you!"

―Jean Magliore^[src]

New Orleans, also known as Nouvelle-Orleans^[1], was a port located at the mouth of the Mississippi River in southern Louisiana. The city was founded by the French in 1718 and soon became a prosperous port. By the 1720s, New Orleans was officially under French administration, but would be known for its charitable and practical leaning towards piracy by being home to many pirates and a large number of mystics.

History Edit

"Last glittering city I saw was New Orleans."

―Jack Sparrow^[src]

Soon after its foundation, New Orleans attracted many visitors, the British and the Spanish among them.^[2] The city was protected by a French police unit.^[3] Due to its non-stop activities, New Orleans became know as the glittering city.^[4]

By the 1720s, New Orleans became a port known for its charitable and practical leaning towards piracy.^[5] Jack Sparrow and the crew of the Barnacle visited New Orleans while searching for the Sun-and-stars amulet. While there, they battled Madame Minuit and rescued Tim Hawk. Two of Jack's crew, Jean Magliore and Constance Magliore hailed from New Orleans. At that time the whole city was turned into silver,^[6] though it was restored back to its normal state.

In the 1730s, during Jack Sparrow's search for the Shadow Gold, the Black Pearl docked in New Orleans, where Jack's old friend, Jean Magliore, and his cousin Marcella joined the ship's crew. Some time later, the city became a home port to the New Orleans pirates, led by Gentleman Jocard, the Pirate Lord of the Atlantic Ocean.

Behind the scenesEdit

There is a section of Disneyland known as New Orleans Square, where the Pirates of the Caribbean ride is located.
Laffite's Landing in Pirates ride is named after Jean Lafitte, a historical pirate who operated from New Orleans.
According to Jim Hill Media's report on The Art of Pirates of the Caribbean, the proposed story for the fourth Pirates movie was for Jack Sparrow and Barbossa to meet up in the newly-founded city of New Orleans, before they sail to find the Fountain of Youth together.^[7] But the idea was later confirmed to be false.^[8]
