Gretna is an incorporated city in Jefferson Parish on the West Bank of the Mississippi River, directly across from the New Orleans Central Business District via the Crescent City Connection bridge. The population is approximately 17,900. Gretna was established as a community in the 1830s and incorporated in 1913.
The Gretna Heritage Festival, held each October, is the city's signature annual event and features live music, food vendors, and carnival rides along Huey P. Long Avenue. The old Gretna courthouse and several blocks of early-twentieth-century commercial buildings give the downtown area a distinct small-town character within the larger metro.
German and Italian immigrant communities shaped Gretna's early development, and that heritage is reflected in some of the area's architecture and long-standing businesses. The city operates its own police department, separate from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, which is unusual for a community of its size on the West Bank.
