At its peak Cahokia is estimated to have had a population of more than 20,000. Plaquemine culture was contemporaneous with the Middle Mississippian culture that is represented by its largest settlement, the Cahokia bullard seafood site in Illinois east of St. Louis, Missouri. Nearly 2,000 years later, Poverty Point was built; it is the largest and best-known Late Archaic site in the state. Once part of the French colonial empire, the Louisiana Territory stretched from present-day Mobile Bay to just north of the present-day Canada–United States border, including a small part of what are now the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. It experienced an agricultural boom, particularly in cotton and sugarcane, which were cultivated primarily by slaves from Africa. The French claimed the territory in 1682, and it became the political, commercial, and population center of the larger colony of New France.

Over time, planters developed large plantations and built fine homes in a growing town. The settlement soon became a flourishing river port and crossroads, giving rise to vast cotton kingdoms along the river that were worked by imported African slaves. The settlement of Natchitoches (along the Red River in present-day northwest Louisiana) was established in 1714 by Louis Juchereau de St. Denis, making it the oldest permanent European settlement in the modern state of Louisiana.

This included the lands along the Gulf Coast and north of Lake Pontchartrain to the Mississippi River, which became known as British West Florida. Recognizing the importance of the Mississippi River to trade and military interests, and wanting to protect the capital from severe coastal storms, France developed New Orleans from 1722 as the seat of civilian and military authority south of the Great Lakes. Louisiana’s French settlements contributed to further exploration and outposts, concentrated along the banks of the Mississippi and its major tributaries, from Louisiana to as far north as the region called the Illinois Country, around present-day St. Louis, Missouri. This became a pattern repeated in New Orleans and other places, although the commodity crop in the south was primarily sugar cane.

It owes its location and its historical importance to its site upon Istrouma Bluff, the first bluff upriver from the Mississippi delta, which protects the city’s residents from flooding and other natural disasters. By possessing New Orleans, Napoleon controlled the Mississippi River and could close the river at any time, disrupting commerce. Also, the northern terminus of the Old San Antonio Road (sometimes called El Camino Real, or Kings Highway) was at Natchitoches. Louisiana is the only state that uses the term „parish” instead of „county.” The largest parish by population is Jefferson Parish, and the largest by land area is Cameron Parish.

The humid, thick, jungle-like heat in southern Louisiana is a famous subject of countless stories and movies. Summers in southern Louisiana have high temperatures from June through September averaging 90 °F (32 °C) or more, and overnight lows averaging above 70 °F (21 °C). The southern coast of Louisiana in the United States is among the fastest-disappearing areas in the world. Louisiana is bordered to the west by Texas; to the north by Arkansas; to the east by Mississippi; and to the south by the Gulf of Mexico. In August 2016, an unnamed storm dumped trillions of gallons of rain on southern Louisiana, including the cities of Denham Springs, Baton Rouge, Gonzales, St. Amant and Lafayette, causing catastrophic flooding. In 1920 the state had no continuous paved roads running east to west or north to south which traversed the entire state.

The overnight lows in the winter average well above freezing throughout the state, with 46 °F (8 °C) the average near the Gulf and an average low of 37 °F (3 °C) in the winter in the northern part of the state. The northern part of the state is mildly cool in the winter, with highs averaging 59 °F (15 °C). At times, temperatures in the 90s °F (32–37 °C), combined with dew points in the upper 70s °F (24–26 °C), create sensible temperatures over 120 °F (49 °C).
