Louisiana, the Pelican State, has a colorful history and was named in honor of King Louis XIV. A strong French influence is still evident throughout the state. The capital city is named Baton Rouge, French for "red stick," because the French-Canadian explorer Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville visited the area in 1699 and observed a red cypress post. The city of New Orleans is known for its Mardi Gras and jazz festivals.
