Which street is named for the wife of Governor Galvez?

Felicity Street is named for the wife of Governor Galvez, reflecting a common practice in naming streets after prominent figures and their families during the time of the early governance of New Orleans. Governor Galvez served as the Spanish governor of Louisiana in the 18th century, and naming the street after his wife honors the historical contributions and presence of women in the development of the city.

The naming convention highlights the importance of familial ties in the history of New Orleans, where many streets were named to commemorate individuals who played a significant role in the community’s growth. Other streets may not bear names associated with significant historical figures linked to the governor, making Felicity Street distinct in its recognition of Governor Galvez's legacy.
