Principal daily newspaper for the greater New Orleans area, and for south Louisiana generally. Established as The Picayune in 1837, went through several minor name changes (always retaining "Picayune" in its name), and merged in 1914 with its principal rival daily, The New Orleans Times, to become The Times-Picayune. Coverage during the 19th & early 20th centuries often included obituaries and other local events throughout the section of the state below Baton Rouge.
