Location of Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana
This is a list of the National Register of Historic Places listings in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.
Fort De La Boulaye was a fort built in 1699–1700, when France took control of the mouth of the Mississippi River. Located less than one mile northeast of highway 39 on the Joe Gravolet canal. Historic marker recently returned on site reads: "FORT de la BOULAYE First white settlement in present day Louisiana, erected on this spot (then the bank of the Mississippi), prevented Britain's seizure of the Mississippi Valley."
Fort Jackson was constructed between 1822 and 1832. In April 1862, it was the site of the Battle of Forts Jackson and St. Philip, the decisive battle for control of New Orleans during the American Civil War. A state-operated park, the fort was flooded in 2005 for several weeks following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Originally established in the 18th-century colonial period, Fort St. Philip's two important engagements were ten-day naval sieges during the War of 1812 and the American Civil War, the former an 1815 American victory against the British Royal Navy and the latter an 1862 Union Navy victory over Confederate forces guarding New Orleans. The site is privately owned and has deteriorated greatly because of river flooding, erosion, and tropical storms.
