Why do people in Louisiana have fountains in their backyards?

Robin T asked:


Ive been researching homes for sale in New Orleans, and I’ve noticed most have a fountain, or other water type lawn decoration in the backyard. Can anyone who knows for sure explain this? I havent seen this anywhere else in the US.

Each state, culture, community has their own “clique” type things… styles, fads, etc…
Must be that everyone thinks it’s pretty cool to have a fountain in the backyard right now… :o )

It’s an architectural tradition left over from the Spanish influence in Nerw Orleans. In addition to being decorative and providing a pleasing noise, fountains can also help cool the air – helpful in hot climates.
