Storyville was a neighborhood located in the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. It was established by the New Orleans City Council in 1897 with municipal ordnance to regulate prostitution. The area was named for Sidney Story, who was a city alderman that drafted the legislation governing prostitution in the city. For decades most of this former district was occupied by the Iberville Housing Projects (mostly demolished), two blocks inland from the French Quarter. The neighborhood currently lies in Faubourg Tremé and the majority of the land was repurposed for public housing. It was bound by the streets of North Robertson, Iberville, Basin, and St. Louis Streets.
Storyville is a central location featured in flashback sequences on the AMC television adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire.
