    Mardi Gras was first celebrated at Point Du Mardi Gras by Iberville and his crew on March 2, 1699. Mobile wasn’t even thought of, yet.

    Ray Potier Bienville founded Mobile. The first krewes and parades were in Mobile and didn’t start in New Orleans until the 1830’s.

    NIKKI RAEL because when it started there it was technically Mobile, LA since the Louisiana Purchase expanded into present-day Alabama. So no matter how you look at it, it began in Louisiana
