What is the name of the street named for the prefect of France in Louisiana history?

Laussat Place is named after Marquis Étienne de Boré, who served as the prefect of the territory of Louisiana during a significant transition period in its history. Laussat played a key role in the transfer of Louisiana from French to Spanish control and then back to French before the eventual sale of the territory to the United States in 1803.

This street honors Laussat’s contributions to Louisiana's governance and development. By recognizing key figures such as Laussat, the city reflects on its complex colonial past and the important political interactions that shaped its history. The other street names do not directly relate to the prefect of France: Galvez St is named after Governor Bernard de Galvez, Deslondes St honors a notable figure associated with the 1811 slave revolt, and Burgundy St does not have a direct connection to a French prefect.
