Despite the "First" designation, this was neither the oldest section of the city nor its seat of government. The current "1st Ward" was a result of a redrawing of divisions within the city in 1852, prior to which the city had been governed for a generation as 3 separate municipalities, each with its own wards.http://nutrias.org/~nopl/facts/1847map.htm 1847 Ward Map of New Orleans nutrias.org 2018-04-19 The First Ward of the newly unified city was designated as identical to the boundaries of the First Ward of the old 2nd Municipality as designated in 1847.
