Lafayette Square is the second-oldest park in New Orleans, located in the present-day Central Business District. In the late 18th century, this was a residential area called Faubourg Sainte Marie (or the Saint Mary Suburb).
The park was designed in 1788 by Charles Laveau Trudeau (aka Don Carlos Trudeau), Surveyor General of Louisiana under the Spanish government, who later served as New Orleans' acting mayor in 1812, after Louisiana statehood. The Square was named after Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat and general who fought on the American side in the American Revolutionary War. The park has a bronze statue of Henry Clay in the center of the park, and statues of John McDonogh and Benjamin Franklin on Saint Charles Avenue and Camp Street.
