Orleans County is located on the Mississippi River in southeastern Louisiana. It has a population of 484,674 and a median household income of $27,133.

It was founded in 1718 by the French Mississippi Company, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville. In 1763, the French colony was ceded to Spain and remained under Spanish control for 40 years. Most of the surviving architecture of the French Quarter dates from this Spanish period. Louisiana reverted to French control in 1801, but two years later Napoleon sold it to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase. Orleans County grew rapidly, with influxes of Americans, French and Creole French. It is also considered the birthplace of jazz.
