Baton Rouge, Louisiana - GigaDictionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | Historically Baton Rouge has been second largest city in Louisiana behind New Orleans, but as of mid-2005, the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Katrina have, at least temporarily, reduced the population of New Orleans such that Baton Rouge is currently the largest city in Louisiana. |
 | | In 1825, Baton Rouge was visited by the Marquis de Lafayette as part of his triumphal tour of the United States, and he was the guest of honor at a town ball and banquet. |
 | | Baton Rouge is well unwired, and ranks #19 as one of the most unwired cities (more unwired than New Orleans, and most of the 25 largest cities in the u.s) There are now many sky-eye traffic cameras at major intersections and countless other advances. |
