Wikipedia: The Cotton Exchange was established in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1871 on the corner of Carondelet and Gravier Streets. The New Orleans Cotton Exchange Building is a National Historic Landmark. The Cotton Exchange was conceived and financed by a group of cotton merchants with support from bankers at a time when fully one-third of the entire production of cotton the United States was sent to New Orleans.
