Designated as a National Historic Landmark District, Lafayette city was referred to as the American Sector, although it was commonly called the Garden District around the 1830s. This area included several plantations that were segmented, sold, and divided into smaller lots. These subdivided sections formed diverse ethnic neighborhoods, such as the American sector, the Irish Channel, and a high-profile Jewish community, to name a few. Large African American and Creole communities also existed in close proximity to these neighborhoods, all comprising parts of the city of Lafayette.
