Baton Rouge and New Orleans are two of the largest port cities in Louisiana, situated along the Mississippi River. New Orleans is particularly famous for its vibrant culture and historic significance as a major port for trade and commerce. Baton Rouge, the state capital, also plays a crucial role in shipping and transportation, serving as a gateway to the interior of the U.S. Both cities significantly contribute to the economy of the Gulf Coast region.

Jefferson reasoned that it was better to own the land than have foreign nations in our backyard. He originally wanted the city of New Orleans but Napoleon needed the money and felt that the land was too hard for France to defend. New Orleans was an important city because people moved cotton by boat down the Mississippi River.
James Monroe and Robert Livingstone were sent to France to negotiate a purchase of New Orleans and permanent rights to the Mississippi River. Napolean needed money and no doubt realized that the Louisiana Territory would be hard to defend and offered to sell it. The result was the Louisiana Purchase.
The Port of South Louisiana encompasses 108 miles of the Mississippi River on the east and west banks. This area is home to over 40 private grain, petroleum and chemical companies. Over 4,000 vessels and 50,000 barges are served per year at the Port of South Louisiana which is the largest tonnage port in the western hemisphere. The grain from the midwest is barged downriver to the grain elevators in the Port district and exported throughout the world. 60% of the nations grain is exported from the Port of South Louisiana.
