Talk:Westwego, Louisiana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] West we go?

I once went on a bus tour of New Orleans, where the driver said Westwego was named for the phrase "West we go!" Is this just a joke, or is it really the reason for the city's name? – [[User:Mxn|Minh Nguyễn (talk, blog)]] 01:55, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I've heard that said often. It's plausible and often said; I don't know off hand if this is doccumented as being the reason for the town's name. Add to the look into list. -- Infrogmation 16:19, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Even in 1917 it was a major ferry landing for westward travelers. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 17:07, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
