The lakefront at Lake Ponchartrain has quite a history. If you would like to know more, I can provide you with information to get you started.
Yes I want to know more information 
It started as a flood control project in the late-1920s. The city departments responsible for protecting the city from major storms needed to replace substandard levees and unsafe marshes with high land and protective structures sufficient to secure the City shoreline from high tide and hurricane winds.
Very interesting and useful  information
