How Dixie Got Her
Name
The Old Citizens Bank of New Orleans stood for many years on
Toulouse Street between Royal and Chartres. In the financially
troublous times of the late 1830s, when panic was in evidence
everywhere and "wild-cat banks" played havoc with the
prosperity of the country, the Citizens Bank won fame for the
stability of its notes and bills that readily passed current
everywhere. Its ten-dollar note bore upon its back the French
word for ten - Dix. Hence, these banknotes throughout the West
were familiarly referred to as Dixies. The transition to
Dixie, as applied to the land from which these notes came, was
naturally made. The South has been "Dixie" ever since.
