About Gretna, Louisiana
Gretna is a city of 17,814 people and the seat of Jefferson Parish, on the west bank of the Mississippi River across from uptown New Orleans. The land was first a plantation that Jean-Charles de Pradel had set up by 1750, the year his house, Monplaisir, was built. John McDonogh bought the place in 1815, moved into the house and cut the rest into city lots and 30-arpent farm strips, which made McDonoghville the first subdivision in the parish.
Gretna itself was first settled in 1836 under the name Mechanikham, and in 1839 the St. Mary Market and Ferry Company laid out the town. A ferry carried people across the river to New Orleans, and the Missouri Pacific, Texas and Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads built stations on its riverfront. Gretna became the parish seat in 1884 and was incorporated as a city in 1913, taking in the part of McDonoghville inside Jefferson Parish. By 1940 the census counted 10,879 people.
- A fire hall for a courthouseWhen Gretna became the parish seat in 1884, the courts moved into the old William Tell Fire Hall, a two-story wooden building from around 1875 at Newton and Third streets, and stayed until 1907. In 1905 the parish chose a narrow site in the middle of Huey P. Long Avenue at Second Street for a three-story brick Beaux-Arts courthouse, with four Corinthian columns in front and a curved bay on each side tracing the courtroom's curved walls.
- City Hall since 1964A plain three-story annex was added behind the courthouse in 1929. In 1958 the parish moved its courts into a new nine-story green glass tower at Dolhonde and Third streets, designed by Claude Hooton and billed as the South's first big building made entirely of glass. The old courthouse was remodeled, keeping its round arches, and reopened as Gretna's city hall in 1964. The glass tower proved too costly to run and was torn down in 2008.
- Oil, barrels, brick and mossAn early parish history counted 3,500 people in Gretna and called it practically a suburb of New Orleans. Its factories turned out cotton seed oil, barrels, brick, moss and lumber. Lines of the Southern Pacific, Texas and Pacific, and New Orleans, Port Jackson & Grande Isle railroads all reached the river here, so the town was an important shipping point.
- Zatarain's since 1963The food and spice company Zatarain's was founded in New Orleans in 1889. It moved across the river to Gretna in 1963 and has stayed ever since.
- Oktoberfest on Huey P. LongThe German American Cultural Center was founded in 1988 at 519 Huey P. Long Avenue to tell the story of German immigrants in Louisiana through exhibits and lectures. It has hosted Maifest, and each year on the first weekend of October it holds a three-day Oktoberfest.
