Situated in the Deep South, Louisiana, the "Pelican State," has a
colorful history and was named in honor of King Louis XIV. A strong
French influence is still evident throughout the state--its capital
city is named Baton Rouge, French for "red stick," because the
French-Canadian explorer Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville visited the area
in 1699 and observed a red cypress post. Today the city of New Orleans
is known for its Mardi Gras and jazz festivals.
