According to Countryaah.com, Baton Rouge is the capital of the state of Louisiana in the southern United
States, located by the Mississippi River 116 km northwest of New Orleans. The
city has 225,374 residents and forms the core of a larger metropolitan area with
834,159 residents (U.S. Census, 2017).
Baton Rouge is an important railroad hub and river port, and the top port of
the Mississippi River that can take seagoing vessels. The city has major oil
refineries with extensive petrochemical industry. By the way, the film industry
is growing, and the State University of 1869 has a large biomedical research
center.
History
A French fort was built here in 1719, and the area was ruled by France,
Britain, Spain, Louisiana, the Republic of West Florida and the Southern
Confederation before it came under the United States. Baton Rouge was
surrendered to France by the Paris peace in 1763, taken over by Spain during the
War of Independence in 1779, and returned to France in 1800. After the Louisiana
Purchase in 1803, Spain again claimed the area, which became American during the
War of 1812, when Louisiana became a state of its own. The city became the
capital of Louisiana in 1849, and experienced strong growth following the
construction of the Standard Oil Company oil refinery in 1909.
