The Old Arabi Historic District borders Jackson Barracks. Named one of America's Prettiest Painted places in a 2012 nationwide search, Arabi developed in the late-nineteenth century and traces its origins to the location of major stockyards there in the 1870s after they had been banned within the New Orleans city limits. In 1906, the American Sugar Refinery was built which is still operational as Domino Sugar Refinery today. The St. Bernard Voice newspaper was founded in Old Arabi in 1890, and in 1906 a post office was built; both remain operational.
Contributing architectural elements mainly date from the 1880s through the 1920s, although there are a handful of small houses from the 1930's and 1940's. Styles include Italianate, Eastlake, Colonial Revival and Bungalow, with the most typical house being highly styled shotguns. Other historic structures in Old Arabi include the First Ward Justice Courthouse/Old Arabi Jail built in 1911.
The St. Bernard Parish Visitor Center is located in Old Arabi as well as the sugar museum, planetarium, children's science center, and the site of a proposed wetland's museum.
