Italians have had a presence in the New Orleans area since the explorations of the Europeans.[2] Many Sicilians immigrated to New Orleans in the 19th century, traveling on the Palermo-New Orleans route by ship.[3][4] The number of Italians who immigrated in the late 19th century greatly exceeded those who had come before the American Civil War.[5] Only New York City has a higher population of Sicilian-Americans and Sicilian immigrants than New Orleans.
