17th Ward of New Orleans

It is the farthest up-river ward of the city; the upper (western) boundary is Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

The lower boundary extends from the riverfront along Carrollton Avenue (across which is the 16th Ward) to the intersection of I-10.

The area closer to the Riverfront was originally the upper half of the town of Carrollton, Louisiana, annexed to New Orleans in 1874 along with the 16th Ward.

The boundary between the Ward and Jefferson Parish from Metairie Ridge back is the 17th Street Canal.
