About Louisiana
The story of Pelican State
Bayou country, delta, and swamp — Louisiana is where the Mississippi River finally meets the Gulf, and the land literally floats on water.
French, Spanish, African, and Cajun-Acadian roots all meet in Louisiana, shaped by the 1803 Louisiana Purchase that doubled the size of the U.S.
Mardi Gras, second-line parades, Cajun and Creole traditions, jazz born in New Orleans — no other American state feels quite like this one.
Food. Gumbo, jambalaya, etouffee, po'boys, beignets, boudin, crawfish boils, and coffee with chicory at Cafe du Monde.
Sports. LSU football at Death Valley, Saints in the Superdome, and Pelicans basketball keep Louisiana loud year-round.
Outdoors. Airboat the Atchafalaya Basin, fish the Gulf, kayak the bayous, or catch a Mardi Gras krewe on the parade route.
Economy. Oil and gas, chemicals, the Port of South Louisiana (busiest by tonnage in the Western Hemisphere), and tourism.
Landmarks. Visitors flock to French Quarter, Bourbon Street, Oak Alley Plantation, Superdome, Jackson Square.
Fun fact. Louisiana uses parishes instead of counties — a holdover from its French Catholic colonial history.
