1852 - Jore Gentilz created this plat based on an 1848 boundary survey made by François Giraud of the “Original Town Tract,” The survey was carried out in order to establish proper legal title to lands lying within the city’s boundary. Many areas of the plat depict planned city development, not actual streets and city blocks present in 1852.
