7th Ward of New Orleans, Historic neighborhood in New Orleans, United States.
The 7th Ward extends between Elysian Fields Avenue and Esplanade Avenue, containing numerous 19th-century residential buildings and local businesses.
During the late 1800s, this district developed into a center for skilled craftsmen, particularly Creole builders who constructed many houses in the area.
The neighborhood maintains strong connections to jazz music through generations of musicians who lived and performed in its streets and venues.
The London Avenue Canal runs through the district, connecting Gentilly Ridge to Lake Pontchartrain with multiple access points for residents.
Local artisans paint tree images on interstate support pillars to memorialize oak trees removed during the construction of Interstate 10.
