Sigmund Pines, the neighborhood's namesake, purchased a large piece of land closest to the Industrial Canal in the 1950s and proceeded to develop it with residences. Well into the 1960s, a substantial number of homes – both doubles and single-family detached structures were constructed. As one of the lowest lying areas in eastern New Orleans, homes were constructed on raised pier foundations.

The neighborhood was significantly impacted by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Over 90% of residential properties as well as nearly all commercial properties in the neighborhood received flood damage, wind damage, or both.
