The Arcadians, also known as Cajuns, moved to Louisiana primarily due to the Great Expulsion in the mid-18th century, when the British expelled them from Acadia (present-day Canada) during the French and Indian War. Seeking refuge and a new life, many Acadians migrated to the Gulf Coast, particularly Louisiana, where they found a welcoming environment and a chance to preserve their cultural identity. The region’s fertile land and abundant resources allowed them to establish agricultural communities, which contributed to the unique Cajun culture that developed over time.
