Rampart Street

Rampart Street (French: rue du Rempart) is a historic avenue located in New Orleans, Louisiana.

With a break at the Industrial Canal, Rampart Street resumes in the Lower Ninth Ward.

Today, the portion of Rampart from Canal Street to St. Claude Avenue has four lanes separated by a tree-lined neutral ground.

In the early and mid-20th century, Rampart Street on either side of Canal was the center of an important African-American commercial and entertainment district.

The notable Jazz trumpetist Louis Armstrong grew up on South Rampart Street.
