According to the city's published history, Gretna can be traced to a plantation established by Jean-Charles de Pradel, whose house, Monplaisir, was built by 1750. By 1813 the plantation belonged to Francois Bernoudy, and John McDonogh of New Orleans bought it, moved into the house and in 1815 founded a settlement named McDonoghville. He divided the rest of the plantation into city lots and long farming strips, leased or sold to white laborers and free people of color, making McDonoghville the first subdivision in Jefferson Parish.
Gretna was settled in 1836, first as Mechanikham, and grew as a Mississippi River station for the Missouri Pacific, Texas and Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, with a ferry across the river to New Orleans. It was incorporated in 1913, absorbing the part of McDonoghville inside Jefferson Parish, and had 10,879 residents in 1940. The food and spice company Zatarain's, founded in New Orleans in 1889, has been based in Gretna since 1963. Sources Wikipedia: Gretna, Louisiana
