Bucktown sprang up
over a hundred years
ago as a string of camps
lining Louisiana's Lake
Pontchartrain, home to
ftsquatterstt who fished the
lake and hunted and trapp:d
along its banks. In the
1850's, a commercial resort
developed there at the
terminus of the Jeffer.::nn/
lake Pont:fr1artrain Railroad,
now the St. Charles Avenue
streetcar line, eventually
becoming the site of a
famous amusement park
known as West End.
During Prohibition,
Bucktown gained notoriety
for its speakeasie~
prostitution, and gambling,
which was legal in ftthe
free state of Jefferson.ft
New Orleans musicians
immortalized Bucktown
during the birth of jazz
in tunes like ftBucktown
Bounceft by Johnny Wiggs
and ftBucktown Bluesft by
Jelly Roll Morton. The
name of the settlement
purportedly refers to the
rowdy, brawling t'bucksft
who came in search of fun
aYld trouble, though others
cnntend it is a reference in
the region's deer hunting
or to local fisherman
Oliver ftBuckft Wooley.
Bucktown survived t\vo
major hurricanes and
encroaching suburbs,
remaining a center for
fresh seafood throughout
its history. The original
Deanie's was the first
market built there and one
of the first in sell boiled
seafood for retail in New
Orleans. Today, Deanie's
market, restaurants, and
shipping services proudly
rnrry the Bucktn\\'11 tradition
into the 21st century.
