Other divisions and designations
There are a number of traditional and historic divisions of New Orleans which may still be commonly heard of in conversation, but which do not correspond with New Orleans City Planning Commission designations.

Another example is the use of the Wards as means of neighborhood identification for the city's residents. Originally created in 1805 with only 7 wards designated, there now are 17 in total.[15] Socially among locals the wards are divided by the ones located "uptown" and the ones located "downtown". Later in the 1980's there was a rise in the use of them as cultural identifiers with the emergence of bounce music and the recognition of the different dialects within them.[16]
