When was Baton Rouge LA founded?

Answer 1

The location on the Mississippi River where land is at the highest elevation and at the lowest point (about 90 miles from the mouth) on the river was chosen as a possible location in 1699 by Pierre LeMoyne, Sieur d'Iberville and his brother Jean Baptiste LeMoyne, Sieur de Bienville. It took nineteen years for the first actual settlement to rise out of the swamp. By this time d'Iberville had died allowing for his brother Bienville to formally establish a city in honor of the reagent of France, duke Phillipe de Orleans in march of 1718 and called it New Orleans.

Answer 2

Louisiana State history began in 1528 when the area was settled by the Spanish from the mouth of the Mississippi River. The French explorer La Salle came later in 1682 and named the territory Louisiana after King Louis the 14th. The French settlement of Natchitoches, established in 1714 is the oldest settlement in the State of Louisiana, founded primarily as a way to continue trade with the Spanish in Texas and keep the Spanish from making advances into the territory of Louisiana. The city of New Orleans history began in 1718 when it was founded by Frenchman Jean Baptiste Le Moyne as a port city for the transfer of goods coming into the Americas. It is named after the Duke of Orleans, Phillipe II, who was regent of France.
