. Mardi Gras arrived in North America as a French Catholic tradition, in the late 17th century, when King Louis XIV sent the pair to defend France's claim on the territory of Louisiane, which included what are now the U.S. states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
The first Mardi Gras in US was in Mobile, Alabama in 1702 as the first capital of French Louisiana settled there.
