East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana

East Baton Rouge Parish is located in the middle of southeast Louisiana. It’s the most populous parish in the state, home to over 450,000 folks.
Baton Rouge, the state capital, sits at its heart. The Mississippi River runs along its western edge, shaping the area’s history and economy. Despite its size, you’ll still find pockets of quiet bayous.
Louisiana State University (LSU)’s campus brings a youthful energy, with its roaring Tiger Stadium on game days. The food scene is killer. Think spicy jambalaya and fresh seafood.
