Jackson Square is a historic public park located in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana. The square was named after General Andrew Jackson, a hero of the Battle of New Orleans and the seventh President of the United States. The historical significance of Jackson Square is palpable, as it was the site where the Louisiana Purchase was officially celebrated in 1803. Tourists flock to Jackson Square for its vibrant atmosphere, street performers, and local artisans who display their artwork and crafts throughout the park.

The square's lush gardens, picturesque views of the Mississippi River, and its central location within the French Quarter make it an ideal starting point for exploring the neighborhood's charming streets, diverse dining options, and vibrant nightlife. The site is surrounded by iconic buildings, including the St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest continuously active Roman Catholic cathedral in the United States. The Cabildo and the Presbytère, both part of the Louisiana State Museum, flank the square and provide visitors with insights into the city's history and culture.
