Louisiana History & Genealogy

Louisiana, one of the southern United States, is bounded on the north by Arkansas; on the east by Mississippi, from which it is separated in part by the Mississippi River; on the south by the Gulf of Mexico; and on the west by Texas. It lies between about 28º 55′ and 33º 1′ north latitude, and between 88º 49′ and 94º 3′ west longitude. The state measures about 130 miles from north to south and about 380 miles from east to west. It contains approximately 52,378 square miles, or 33,522,000 acres.

This state project is part of the much larger American History & Genealogy Project or better known by the abbreviation of AHGP. It has been in existence online since 2000 and over the years has been spread out across the web. These pages are an attempt to consolidate it under one website of the larger project.
