At the start of the 19th century what would become Navarre was mostly undeveloped [[swamp]] land a good distance from the developed parts of the young city along the [[Mississippi River]].

The first of the area's important landmarks to be developed was [[Greenwood Cemetery, New Orleans|Greenwood Cemetery]], in 1852. The Canal Street, City Park, and Lake Pontchartrain Railway ran along one edge of the neighborhood on its way out along side the [[Orleans Canal]] to [[Spanish Fort, New Orleans|Old Spanish Fort]] on [[Lake Pontchartrain]]. Otherwise, the land after a distance equivalent of a couple blocks back from Metairie Road was swamp. |
