1788, destroyed 856 buildings all starting from a barn, the myth is the cow kicked over the oil lantern

Another answer:

There have been two "great fires" in New Orleans history: the one mentioned above, and another in 1794 that destroyed 212 structures. The "cow myth," however, originated with the "Great Chicago Fire" of 1871.
