The Community of Treme was a plantation in the late 1700's, which was sold in early 1810 to the City of New Orleans. After the city purchased the land they designated a portion of the land to create one of the earliest communities for free blacks and slaves to congregate, play music and sell goods in whats called Congo Square.
