Carrollton is a historic neighborhood of Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, which includes the Carrollton Historic District, recognized by the HISTORIC DISTRICT LANDMARK COMMISSION. It is the part of Uptown New Orleans farthest upriver while still being easily accessible to the French Quarter.

It was historically a separate town, laid out in 1833 and incorporated on March 10, 1845. [2][3] Carrollton was annexed by New Orleans in 1874 (becoming the city's 16th and 17th Wards), but it has long retained some elements of distinct identity. During the American Civil War, Carrollton soon fell under Union control.

Winters in his The Civil War in Louisiana (1861), reports that soldiers in Carrollton were heavy whiskey drinkers. A young officer complained that one-fifth of the regiment keeps drunk all the time. [4] Post commander General John W.

Phelps permitted the men to drink because he thought that they must have whisky or die of country fever. Butler, from time to time, issued orders forbidding the public sale of liquor. Butler's brother, Andrew J. Butler, who held no official capacity, then petitioned his brother to lift the ban. Andrew Butler monopolized the liquor trade and brought cattle into the area from Texas and flour from the North. Winters describes Andrew Butler as a jolly, fat man who could be as hard as nails where a dollar was concerned. [He] quickly established a monopoly on all groceries, breadstuffs, medicines, and staples brought into [New Orleans].

He seized and operated a city bakery that was the only breadmaking establishment allowed in the city. [6] Many in New Orleans considered the Butler brothers "on the make, " and persons needing official favors were more likely to succeed if they were on good terms with Andrew Butler.
