About Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge, the capital city of Louisiana, is located on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. The city's name, which means "red stick" in French, is derived from a red cypress pole that marked the boundary between two Native American tribes. Baton Rouge has a rich history, with French, Spanish, and British influences evident in its architecture, cuisine, and culture.
As a major port city, Baton Rouge has long been a hub for freight transportation. The Mississippi River is a vital waterway for shipping goods, and Baton Rouge's port is one of the largest in the United States. The port handles a wide range of commodities, including agricultural products, chemicals, petroleum, and steel. In addition to river transportation, Baton Rouge is also well-connected by rail and highway networks, making it an important transportation hub for the region.
