Napoleon's Bar
129 W Main St
Historic Downtown
New Iberia, LA

Founded by Spaniards in 1779 on the banks of Bayou Teche.
Spanish settlers called the town "Nueva Iberia" in honor of the Iberian Peninsula; French-speakers referred to the town as "Nouvelle Ibérie" while the English settlers arriving after the Louisiana Purchase called it "New Town." In 1814, the U.S. government opened a post office in the town, officially recognizing the name as New Iberia, but postmarks from 1802 show the town being called “Nova Iberia” (Latin for "new"). The town was incorporated in 1839 as the "Town of Iberia", but the state legislature amended the town's charter in 1847, recognizing New Iberia as the town's name.

Wormser's Department Store
Historic Downtown
New Iberia, LA

It was the art deco jewel of Main Street, the sign that beckoned shoppers — Smart Ladies Wear Wormser’s. Today, Wormser’s Department Store is gone, but not forgotten. The sign has been restored, although lacking the neon of bygone days. New Iberians grew up with Wormser’s, especially in time for back-to-school shopping. Wormser’s was not just a department store for ladies, it also featured fabrics and patterns, an annex, and a men’s store in the back.
