Storyville was a legally recognized red-light district in New Orleans, Louisiana, from 1897 to 1917. It was established to regulate vice activities within a specific area of the city.

Storyville became famous not only for its legal good times but also for its vibrant nightlife and jazz music. Many jazz musicians, including legends like Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong, played in the clubs and brothels of Storyville, contributing significantly to the development and spread of jazz music.
