French expedition; French finding New Orleans (1 janv. 1718 – 1 janv. 1718)

Description:

One of the important sites founded by the French in the New World was New Orleans, a port they established in 1718 near the mouth of the Mississippi River. Up the river from New Orleans was another French river town—called Natchez—which had been established in 1716 as the first permanent settlement on the Mississippi River. During the European period, all three of the great powers of Europe would control Natchez and the area that now comprises Mississippi.
