It came about in 1897. An alderman named Sidney Story decided to segregate
the already booming vice in New Orleans into two more or less “open”
districts, where prostitution would be allowed. One in the French Quarter
and the most famous above Canal Street. The latter came to be popularly
called Storyville. Louis Armstrong said (Life interview 1966) that
Storyville was mostly for white people.
