| Treme The Faubourg Treme occupies the area once owned by Claude Treme, a wealthy Louisiana planter. In 1898, a section of Treme was set aside as a red light district - the famous Storyville. The district was bounded by N. Basin Street, Robertson Street, St. Louis Street and Iberville Street Storyville was ironically named for councilman Sidney Story who promoted legislation to limit (not curtail) prostitution. Here the great saloons flourished. Talent, booze, women, and money ran free and easy on the street and in the best interiors of the "sporting houses". In 1917 it all folded, closed by the Secretary of the Navy as too many Navy men were getting "sick" from diseases caught at Storyville. Storyville was demolished in 1940, and the Iberville Public Housing Project has been built on the site. From the colonial period through the urbanization of New Orleans, over 80 percent of the Faubourg Treme's population consisted of African Americans. This is considered one of the oldest black neighborhoods in the country and is rather unique in the history of the United States due to their influence in the socio-economic pattern. As early as 1726, Free People of Color lived and worked in this neighborhood.
