Understand
Jean Lafitte is named after the famed buccaneer. To the south of here was once a place called Manila Village that was comprised of Filipino fishermen who had jumped ship while under the command of Spanish captains, today commemorated by a plaque in Manila Plaza in Jean Lafitte. All around this town is wetland that unfortunately is in danger of degradation from hurricanes and salination.
The same roads run past New Orleans, where they are ranked and described in full.
