The first European explorers to visit Louisiana came in 1528 when a Spanish expedition led by Panfilo de Narvaes located the mouth of the Mississippi River.

The first permanent settlement, Fort Maurepas (at what is now Ocean Springs, Mississippi, near Biloxi), was founded by Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, a French military officer from Canada, in 1699. By then the French had also built a small fort at the mouth of the Mississippi at a settlement they named La Balise (or La Balize), "seamark" in French.

Is it legal for a 19 year old boy to date a 17 year old girl in Louisiana without parents permission?

Yes there are no laws for dating, only for sex where the minor musty have reached the age of consent in the state. In Louisiana that is 17. If however her parents ask you to stay away you have to stay away because she is a minor and they decide for her. You can of course risk it but then they can get a restraining order against you or have you arrested.
