Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Baton Rouge (; French for "Red Stick", French: Bâton-Rouge ) is the capital of the U.S. state of Louisiana and its second-largest city. The seat of East Baton Rouge Parish, the city is located on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River.
As the "Capital City", Baton Rouge is the political hub for Louisiana,〔(Louisiana Old State Capitol | Governor's Portrait Gallery )〕 and is the second-largest metropolitan city in the state, with a growing population of 228,895 people as of 2014. The metropolitan area surrounding the city, known as Greater Baton Rouge, has a population of 820,159 people as of 2013.〔 The urban area has around 594,309 inhabitants.
Baton Rouge is a major industrial, petrochemical, medical, research, motion picture,〔("Growing Louisiana-Based Businesses Sustains Hollywood South" ), ''Forbes,'' June 9, 2014〕 and growing technology〔("IBM selects BR" ), ''The Advocate'' — Baton Rouge, LA]〕 center of the American South. The Port of Greater Baton Rouge is the tenth largest in the United States in terms of tonnage shipped, and is the farthest upstream Mississippi River port capable of handling Panamax ships.
The Baton Rouge area owes its historical importance to its strategic site upon the Istrouma Bluff, the first natural bluff upriver from the Mississippi River Delta. This allowed development of a business quarter safe from seasonal flooding. In addition, the city built a levee system stretching from the bluff southward to protect the riverfront and low-lying agricultural areas. The city is a culturally rich center, with settlement by immigrants from numerous European nations and African peoples. It was ruled by seven different governments: French, British, and Spanish in the colonial era, West Floridian, United States territory and state, Confederate, and United States again.
