9 Things You May Not Know About Mardi Gras 3. New Orleans did not host the first North American Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is believed to have arrived in North America on March 3, 1699, when the French-Canadian explorer Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville camped about 60 miles downriver from the future site of New Orleans. Knowing it was Fat Tuesday back in France, Iberville named the spot Point du Mardi Gras and held a small gala. A few years later, French soldiers and settlers feasted and wore masks as part of Mardi Gras festivities in the newly founded city of Mobile (present-day Alabama). To this day, Mobile claims to have the oldest annual Mardi Gras celebration in the United States. 4. Mardi Gras in New Orleans survived early efforts at suppression.

NOLA History: Mardi Gras, From the Beginning The men from Mobile were familiar with the “secret societies” there, like the Cowbellians, so the group formed their own New Orleans organization. They named it the Mystic Krewe of Comus, and held a tightly-organized, two-float night parade on Mardi Gras, 1857. After their parade, the Krewe held a private bal masque. Concept sketch for a float, Krewe of Proteus, 1890s (Courtesy Louisiana State Museum) That structure did indeed save Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Comus’ parade became a popular way to celebrate Mardi Gras during and after the Civil War. Interest in holding other parades grew in the late 1860s, so that by 1872, two new organizations took to the streets.
