World Cotton Centennial
The World Cotton Centennial (also known as the '''World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition''') was a World's Fair held in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, in 1884. At a time when nearly one third of all cotton produced in the United States was handled in New Orleans and the city was home to the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, the idea for the fair was first advanced by the Cotton Planters Association. The name "World Cotton Centennial" referred to the earliest-surviving record of export of a shipment of cotton from the U.S. to England in 1784. Gustave M. Torgerson who lived in Meridian was selected and supervising architect and designed the main building. Provided by Wikipedia-
