The culture of New Orleans is unique among, and distinct from, that of other cities in the United States, including other Southern cities. New Orleans has been called the "northernmost Caribbean city"[1] and "perhaps the most hedonistic city in the United States".[2] Over the years, New Orleans has had a dominant influence on American and global culture.
In a locale once inhabited by Choctaw, Houma, and other native tribes,[3][4] prominent cultural influences date to the French and Spanish[5] colonial periods and the introduction of enslaved Africans in the 18th century.
