About Louisiana

Much of the state’s lands were formed from sediment washed down the Mississippi River, leaving enormous deltas and vast areas of coastal marsh and swamp. These contain a rich southern biota; typical examples include birds such as ibis and egrets. There are also many species of tree frogs, and fish such as sturgeon and paddlefish. In more elevated areas, fire is a natural process in the landscape, and has produced extensive areas of longleaf pine forest and wet savannas. These support an exceptionally large number of plant species, including many species of orchids and carnivorous plants. Louisiana has more Native American tribes than any other southern state, including four that are federally recognized, ten that are state recognized, and four that have not yet received recognition.

More About Louisiana

Louisiana is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. It is the 31st in size and the 25th most populous of the 50 United States. Louisiana’s capital is Baton Rouge and its largest city is New Orleans. It is the only state in the U.S. with political subdivisions termed parishes, which are the local government’s equivalent to counties. The largest parish by population is East Baton Rouge Parish, and the largest by total area is Plaquemines. Louisiana is bordered by Arkansas to the north, Mississippi to the east, Texas to the west, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south.

Some Louisiana urban environments have a multicultural, multilingual heritage, being so strongly influenced by a mixture of 18th-century French, Spanish, Native American, and African cultures that they are considered to be exceptional in the US. Before the American purchase of the territory in 1803, the current Louisiana State had been both a French colony and for a brief period, a Spanish one. In addition, colonists imported numerous African people as slaves in the 18th century. Many came from peoples of the same region of West Africa, thus concentrating their culture. In the post-Civil War environment, Anglo-Americans increased the pressure for Anglicization, and in 1921, English was for a time made the sole language of instruction in Louisiana schools before a policy of multilingualism was revived in 1974. There has never been an official language in Louisiana, and the state constitution enumerates “the right of the people to preserve, foster, and promote their respective historic, linguistic, and cultural origins,” whether English, French, Spanish, or otherwise.

Lousiana’s interstate highway system consists of 933.84 miles of freeways throughout its state lines. It has six primary interstates and six auxiliary interstates. The longest of these is Interstate 10 which runs east-west for 274.42 miles, stretching from the Texas state line at Orange, TX to the Mississippi state line at Slidell, MS. I-10 services many of Louisiana’s major cities, including Lake Charles, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. Another important east-west interstate is Interstate 20. I-20 begins at the Texas state line near Greenwood, LA, passes through Shreveport, and exits Louisiana at the Mississippi state line near Vicksburg, MS. Interstate 12 also runs east-west, connecting Slidell in the east to Baton Rouge in the west before merging with I-10. Although I-12 only stretches a little over 85 miles, it is an important highway used to access many of Louisiana’s smaller cities. The state’s primary north-south route is Interstate 49 which begins at the Arkansas state line and ends in Lafayette, LA. Interstate 55 also runs north-south, beginning at the Mississippi state line near Kentwood before connecting to I-10 in LaPlace, LA, just a few miles west of New Orleans.
