Part of the French Market site has been a market since 1791; its oldest structures date to about 1813, and it now spans six blocks with shops, food stalls and a weekend flea market.
Service on the St. Charles line began on September 26, 1835. It is described as the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world, and its green 900-series cars were built in 1923–24.
