Baton Rouge is the capital of Louisiana, and it is where the distinctive Cajun and Creole cultures all come together. Located in Southeast Louisiana, Baton Rouge is the fifth largest city on the Mississippi River and home to Louisiana's largest parish. At 450 feet, the
Louisiana State Capitol building is the tallest Capital building in the nation. As the second-largest city in the state, Baton Rouge hosts several major industrial sectors, including Exxon and the Port of Greater Baton Rouge, the 10th largest in the nation. It is also home to
Louisiana State University,
Southern University, and
Baton Rouge Community College.

USS Kidd on the Mississippi River, attending an LSU or Southern Football game, or meandering down River Road, there is always something interesting to see in Baton Rouge. And whatever you have going on, you can bet the event will involve delicious food.
Because of its geographical location, Baton Rouge has experienced the wrath of many historically significant hurricanes. A few of the many are Hurricanes Andrew, Katrina, Gustav, and Ida. Additionally, in August 2016, the prolonged rainfall from an unpredictable storm resulted in catastrophic flooding in the Greater Baton Rouge area; thousands of houses and businesses were submerged. Louisiana's governor, John Bel Edwards, called the disaster a "historic, unprecedented flooding event" and declared a state of emergency.
With an average relative humidity of 73.8%, Baton Rouge consistently ranks as one of the most humid cities in the U.S. Unfortunately, humid climates are more susceptible to mold issues. And, just like any mid-sized to large city, Baton Rouge has its fair share of governmental, educational, and medical facilities.
