Louisiana, Baton Rouge is the 2nd-largest city in the state with

along the Mississippi River, the Port of Baton Rouge is
the 9th largest in the U.S. and is the farthest
upstream port on the river capable of handling ocean-going
tankers and cargo carriers.

years into a center for finance, healthcare, education,

construction, and distribution.

face of the 2008 recession and its aftermath, Baton Rouge was
ranked as one of the "Top 10 Places for Young Adults" in 2010 by
Portfolio Magazine, as well as one of the top 20 cities in North
America for economic strength by Brookings.
Home of Louisiana State University, visitors and
residents alike find in Baton Rouge all of the amenities of a
big city with the charm and character of a small town. From some
of the best food in the country, to unique music and world class
outdoor sports, Baton Rouge has something to please
