Kenner

Kenner

Kenner is a city in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, and a suburb of New Orleans. The population was 70,517 at the 2000 census.

History

In 1855, Kenner was founded by Minor Kenner on land that consisted of three plantation properties that had been purchased by the Kenner family. At the time, all land north of what is now Airline Hwy was swampland.

During 1915-1931 a New Orleans streetcar line operated between New Orleans and Kenner. The line ran between the intersection of Rampart and Canal in New Orleans and the intersection of Williams Blvd and Jefferson Hwy in Kenner.

In 1960, Kenner had a population of 17,037.

Kenner’s growth began in the late 1950s when developers began subdividing, draining and filling the swampland in the northern half of the city. During the 1960s, the construction of Interstate 10 and improvements to Veterans Memorial Highway aided the rapid development of Kenner as a suburb of New Orleans.

By 1979, Kenner’s population was 60,524 making it the 6th largest city in state.

    Testimonial Excerpts

    ...Within fifteen minutes or so of the completion of our open house on Sunday, Christie contacted us to tell us how well it had gone. She even hinted that we might see three to four offers on the house by the next day. Still, we did not expect to receive an offer within the next couple of hours...and over our asking price, which is exactly what happened. Christie kept every promise she made to us, and her services exceeded our expectations... and those of our family and friends...

    Congratulations and a big thank you! Your perseverance and patience paid off. Be assured that the next time "real estate sale" comes up in conversation, so will your name.

    Deanne and John
    River Ridge

    Your patience, perseverance and continued hard work helped bring a very successful conclusion to the sale of our family's home on Nashville... Christie, you remind me of the Energizer bunny - you keep going and going and going.
