A state in the southern United States, Louisiana is known for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant music, and delicious cuisine. Originally inhabited by Native American tribes, it was explored by the French in the late 17th century and later became part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Louisiana ratified the United States Constitution in 1812, becoming the 18th state. With the Mississippi River running through it and the Gulf of Mexico on its southern border, Louisiana has played a key role in American trade and commerce. Baton Rouge is the capital, while New Orleans is the largest city and a major cultural hub.

New Orleans, the most famous city in Louisiana, is located on the Mississippi River and is known for its French Quarter, jazz music, Mardi Gras celebrations, and Creole and Cajun cuisine. Founded by the French and later controlled by Spain before becoming part of the U.S., New Orleans is a melting pot of cultures and one of the most visited cities in the country.

Also called the Pelican State, Louisiana spans 52,378 square miles (135,659 square km).
