History
In 1829, Bernard Xavier de Marigny de Mandeville (1785–1868), a New Orleans planter and legislator whose family was among the most prominent in Louisiana, purchased a large tract on the north shore east of Bayou Castine and established there a plantation he named Fontainebleau, on the site of the present Fontainebleau State Park. The tract had been granted to earlier settlers under British and Spanish rule, and Congress confirmed Marigny's title to it by a private act of March 15, 1832. In 1834, Marigny laid out a town on his lands west of the bayou and sold lots at auction in New Orleans, promoting it as a resort for city residents across the lake. Mandeville was incorporated as a town in 1840. It became a popular summer destination for well-to-do New Orleanians wishing to escape the city's heat.
In the mid-19th century, regular daily steamboat traffic between New Orleans and Mandeville began, and by the end of the Victorian era, it had become a popular weekend destination of the New Orleans middle class, as well.
In the late 19th century, Mandeville was home of the Harvey School (Mandeville), a college preparatory institution.
