The State of Louisiana (French:
État de Louisiane, Louisiana Creole: Léta de la Lwizyŕn)
is a state
located in the southern region of the United States of America. Its capital is Baton Rouge and largest city
is New
Orleans. Louisiana is the only state divided into parishes, which are local governments equivalent to counties. The
largest parish by population is Jefferson
Parish, and the largest by land area is Cameron
Parish. Some
Louisiana urban environments have a multicultural,
multilingual
heritage, being so strongly influenced by an admixture of 18th century French, Spanish
and African cultures that they
have been considered somewhat exceptional in the U.S. Before the American influx and
statehood at the beginning of the 19th century, the territory of current
Louisiana State had been a Spanish and French colony. In addition,
the pattern of development included importing numerous Africans
in the 18th century, with many from the same region of West Africa, thus
concentrating their culture. |
