“New Orleans’ Tremé neighborhood is geographically the part of the city that lies between North Rampart and North Broad, and from Canal Street to St. Bernard Avenue. Faubourg is a French term meaning ‘suburb’ or neighborhood. The Faubourg Tremé, or as it is more frequently referred to, Tremé, is not only America’s oldest black neighborhood, but was also the site of significant economic, cultural, political, social, and legal events that have shaped the course of events in Black America for the past two centuries.” – http://www.neworleansonline.com/
