Humans first inhabited Metairie after the Mississippi River flowed through it, leaving behind natural levees--as well as Bayou Metairie--along Metairie Road. After the surrounding swampland was drained, other areas were developed, and in 2020, Metairie became the sixth-largest census designated place in the nation.

While New Orleans is recognized the world over for the French Quarter and Mardi Gras, Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, is not as well known. However, Metairie does have a rich history all its own. What was once described two centuries ago as "a tongue of land to lend pasturage" has become the second largest unincorporated city in the nation. The explorer La Salle noticed the river bend that is now Metairie when he descended and ascended the Mississippi River in the Spring of 1682. Almost simultaneously with the founding of New Orleans in 1718, John Law's Company of the West began granting land to European investors and to a handful of Canadians struggling to survive along the Gulf Coast. The settlers helped feed the city, provided it with critical building materials, and enhanced its value as a port. As with many colonial frontiers throughout the history of the world, missionaries stood in the vanguard of Metairie's evolution. French and Spanish friars, then European priests, and finally native clergy provided leadership and stability as a progressive community began to emerge from the marsh and swamp.

From ancient bayous to beloved old businesses, Metairie has changed dramatically over generations. Many of those landmarks are lost to time; the lake, railroads and a beach resort were popular features in the early days. A streetcar ran through the short-lived City of Metairie Ridge, where gambling houses and dog tracks contributed more tax dollars than did the few residents. Old Bucktown was famous for its seafood. Fat City, once notorious for its nightlife, has seen better days. Author Catherine Campanella takes a look back at the schools, shops, bars, restaurants, alligator farms, bowling alleys, drive-ins and movie theaters from a bygone era.

Metairie is often considered the dull stepchild of New Orleans--a concrete "Anywhere, USA" lined with shopping malls frequented by fast-food eating, drive-up-daiquiri-drinking, cultureless suburbanites. Despite stereotypical misconceptions, sons and daughters of New Orleans who call Metairie home are every bit as colorful, talented, devious, and gracious as their relatives in the city. Johnny Wiggs kept New Orleans jazz alive. Verne Tripp invented "perma-press" and pioneered use of the electron microscope. On Atherton Drive, David Ferrie plotted a Cuban coup. Peter Gennaro left his father's bar to become a Broadway star. Shirley Ann Grau raised her children here while writing novels. Al Scramuzza built a crawfish empire and coached Metairie children. Ellen Degeneres found national fame, while Becky Allen won our hearts at home. Those who may not be widely known but have impacted lives in the community and afar are also included in this book, which is a tribute to the people of Metairie.

"A trivia-packed, free-wheeling, humorous look at street names." -Angus Lind, FOX 8 News, New Orleans Inspired by John Chase's Frenchmen, Desire, Good Children, this funny and informative book narrates the history of Jefferson Parish through its street names. The guide explains the significance of each appellation, along with the reasons why real estate developers chose them. Seventeen chapters divide the information into different categories. "Honoring the Warriors" pays homage to our heroes with Veterans Memorial Boulevard and Admiral Craik Drive, while "�Parlez-vous Italiano, Se�orita?" ponders the meaning behind Segnette Boulevard and Chi Chi Lane. "Go, Saints!" describes the presence of the Catholic culture in the region, including such streets as St. Elizabeth Drive, Seton Boulevard, and San Mateo Avenue. "Higher Education" notes the college theme with Syracuse and Swarthmore Streets and Millsaps Place. Questions are peppered throughout the text, with answers provided at the end of the corresponding chapter. The guide also includes an index, allowing readers to locate a specific street. Full of Higgins' classic cleverness and wit, Metairie, Ames, High offers a fascinating peek at Jefferson Parish's past and its people.
