Answer:
He explored the lower Mississippi and the Red River (1699–1700), and, when the colony's leader, one “Sauvole,” died in 1701, Bienville was commissioned as commandant. ... At that time he founded the settlement of New Orleans on the Mississippi River, and four years later he made that city the new capital of the colony
