Felicity Street

Felicity Road (now Street) was the upriver boundary of the city until 1852, when the area uptown of Felicity Street became the Fourth District of the City of New Orleans.  Because it was the upriver boundary of the developing city for over 100 years, buildings were made to accommodate the pie-shaped streets.
