McDonoghville

McDonoghville, sometimes called simply McDonogh, is a community of Algiers, New Orleans, and Gretna, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

[1] In 2020, Gretna began the process of nominating McDonoghville for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

[2] Like many Greater New Orleans neighborhoods, McDonoghville has its share of corner stores and a playground, named McDonogh, in the predominantly residential area.

De Pradel had acquired the land in 1737 from Étienne Perier who'd received it as a grant from the Company of the Indies upon becoming governor of Louisiana in 1726.

[3] In 1813, philanthropist John McDonogh acquired the property and began subdividing the land to create McDonnoughville in 1815, the first subdivision in Jefferson Parish.
