Louisiana Real Estate
A state of the southern United States
on the Gulf of Mexico. It was admitted as the 18th state in 1812. Part
of the vast region claimed by La Salle for France in 1682, it was
first successfully settled in 1718 with the foundation of New Orleans.
Control of the area passed to the United States in 1803, and the
Territory of Orleans was created in 1804 when the northern part was
split off to form the District of Louisiana (later the Territory of
Louisiana and the Missouri Territory). Baton Rouge is the capital and
New Orleans the largest city. Population: 4,238,216.
