About Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Baton Rouge is the capital city of the U.S. state of Louisiana. Human habitation in the Baton Rouge area has been dated to 12000–6500 BC, based on evidence found along the Mississippi, Comite, and Amite rivers. Earthwork mounds were built by hunter-gatherer societies in the Middle Archaic period, from roughly the fourth millennium BC. Baton Rouge has an extensive park collection presided over by the Recreation and Park Commission for the Parish of East Baton Rouge. The largest park is City Park near the Louisiana State University flagship campus. (Wikipedia)
