It was a large marsh area and a popular fishing spot for people living in Uptown. That work was expanded to drain low laying areas of the city like Broadmoor. As the land was drained, houses were built.

The first houses built were mostly high raised houses because of the fear of flooding, but after decades without any problems, and as the population grew, construction of many low-lying houses became more frequent. The May 8th, Louisiana Flood impacted Broadmoor severely when two powerful storms took place within 40 hours and dropped more than 20 inches of rain onto the city. Draining was improved after the flood, but like most of the city, it flooded again after Hurricane Katrina.

Because Broadmoor is on such low land, it was hit hard. Water was up to 14 feet deep in some places. After the water receded, one plan called for Broadmoor to be turned into park land.

However, residents of Broadmoor objected. At the time the plan came out, in January , many of those residents were already living back at their houses, in the upstairs level of two-story homes, while work was being done to gut and repair the flooded lower levels. Demographically, Broadmoor is a microcosm of New Orleans: 67 percent African-American, 26 percent white and 4 percent Hispanic. The area includes a public library, a small park and a number of schools.
