More about Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Baton Rouge incorporated in 1817 and was made the capital of Louisiana in 1849. During the American Civil War, Louisiana joined the Confederacy, but Union forces captured Baton Rouge in 1862 and controlled the city until the end of the war. The state capital was relocated during the war, but Baton Rouge again became the capital in 1882. The city’s location on protected highlands above the Mississippi River encouraged industrial development. A refinery built in 1909 north of the city was the first of many such facilities, making the city a center for refining and petrochemical production.
