Several flags have
flown over Baton
Rouge since
its founding. Those
of France, England,
Spain, West Florida,
Louisiana, Confederate
States of America and
the United States of
America.
In 1699, French explorers
discovered the area
where Baton Rouge is
now located. D'Iberville's
writings refer to the
area as Istrouma or
Red Stick, which when
translated into French
becomes Baton Rouge.
