Trying to find the historical location of Hoeyville. I have seen descriptions suggesting it was 9 miles from New Orleans between Lake Pont and the Mississippi but beyond that I cannot seem to locate it. References are made to this locale from about 1840 to the perhaps the early 1900s and may not exist any longer.

I believe it may have been created or named after John Hoey who owned a brickyard in the Carrollton area (Hoey's Basin) of New Orleans. He also owned a saddle and harness factory and a wheelbarrow factory.

It is possible that Hoeyville and Hoey's Basin are one and the same. It might also be possible that the Hoeyville Plantation was located there. I hope someone can point me to some historical map that might help me answer these questions.

Thanks..........Arthur
