Historically, "Uptown" was a direction, meaning in the direction against the flow of the Mississippi. After the Louisiana Purchase, many settlers from other parts of the United States developed their homes and businesses in the area up river from the older Creole city. In the 19th century Canal Street was known as the dividing line between "Uptown" and "Downtown New Orleans", the boundary between the predominantly Francophone area down river and the predominantly Anglophone area up river.

Tulane and Loyola Universities are some of the top educational institutes among the medical and law schools in the nation. In addition, the Audubon Zoo is a fine place to take the family to view some of the most exotic animals from around the world.
