12th Ward of New Orleans, Administrative ward in Uptown district, New Orleans, United States.
The 12th Ward extends from the Mississippi River to South Broad Street, with Toledano Street and Napoleon Avenue marking its boundaries.
This territory became part of New Orleans in 1870 through the annexation of Jefferson City, leading to the establishment of three new wards.
Streets within the ward follow a naming pattern based on Napoleon Bonaparte's military campaigns, including Constantinople and Cadiz streets.
The ward contains two New Orleans Public Library branches: the Children's Resource Center on Napoleon and Rosa Keller Branch at Broad Street.
Tipitina's music venue, located at Napoleon and Tchoupitoulas Street, stands as a central entertainment location in this ward of New Orleans.
