Touro Bouligny, part of the Uptown Historic District bounded roughly by St. Charles Avenue, Magazine Street, Louisiana Avenue and Napoleon Avenue. Much of the neighborhood is situated in what was once Faubourg Bouligny, a subdivision laid out in 1833 by Charles Zimpel on the grounds of the former plantation of Louis Bouligny. Two segments -- East and West Bouligny -- flank Napoleon Avenue, the axis of the faubourg. The north-south streets of Faubourg Bouligny -- like Marengo -- were named for Napoleon's major campaigns.
