The housing is one of the poorest in New Orleans, and wasn't renovated from the creation of the Iberville Projects until the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina took place. The name of the Iberville Projects came from Pierré Le Moyne, sieur d'Iberville, a founder of Louisiana, who discovered the land in 1699. After the Great Depression, the idea for the Iberville Projects was thought up when almost ALL of the housing in Storyville were below standard. This paved the way for the creation and construction of the Iberville Projects.
