East Baton Rouge Parish (French:Paroisse de Bâton-Rouge Est) is a parish located in the U.S. state of Louisiana. As of the 2010 census, the population was 440,171, making it the most populous parish in the state. The parish seat is Baton Rouge, Louisiana's state capital.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the parish has a total area of 470 square miles (1,200km2), of which 455 square miles (1,180km2) is land and 15 square miles (39km2) (3.2%) is water.
Baton Rouge (/ˌbætənˈruːʒ/; French for "Red Stick", French: Bâton-Rouge[bɑtɔ̃ ʁuʒ]) is the capital of the U.S. state of Louisiana and its second-largest city. The seat of East Baton Rouge Parish, the city is located on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River.
As the "Capital City", Baton Rouge is the political hub for Louisiana, and is the second-largest metropolitan city in the state, with an estimated population of 228,895 as of 2014. The metropolitan area surrounding the city, known as Greater Baton Rouge, had a population of 820,159 people as of 2013. The urban area has around 594,309 inhabitants.
Baton Rouge is a major industrial, petrochemical, medical, research, motion picture, and growing technology center of the American South. The Port of Greater Baton Rouge is the tenth largest in the United States in terms of tonnage shipped, and is the farthest upstream Mississippi River port capable of handling Panamax ships.
The Baton Rouge area owes its historical importance to its strategic site upon the Istrouma Bluff, the first natural bluff upriver from the Mississippi River Delta. This allowed development of a business quarter safe from seasonal flooding. In addition, the city built a levee system stretching from the bluff southward to protect the riverfront and low-lying agricultural areas. The city is a culturally rich center, with settlement by immigrants from numerous European nations and African peoples. It was ruled by seven different governments: French, British, and Spanish in the colonial era, West Floridian, United States territory and state, Confederate, and United States again.
In a town on the outskirts of Paris, the life of Karim, Abdenour and Mozart search for small acting jobs. Karim's father reassures him that he will someday become someone important. Abdenour, orphaned, promises his brother that he may soon withdraw from welfare. For his part, Mozart, a saxophonist, dreams lead his two friends to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the capital of blues. The dream soon becomes a reality in the wake of Abdenour falling in love with Becky, a young American, and thanks to one of the three friends' tricks allow them to obtain airline tickets to New York. But their search continues across the Atlantic.

Clean Cities Success Stories: East Baton Rouge Propane School Buses
Our success story this week takes us to the Cajun capitol…Baton Rouge, Louisiana…where new propane-powered buses are a welcome sight. August floods wiped out a portion of the East Baton Rouge Parish Schools bus fleet. When seeking replacements, the district decided to go green and ordered 10 propane buses.
GARY REESE: “We’d been interested for a while in propane or alternative fuels. This gave us the opportunity to expedite the purchase. We planned to buy some this year anyway with money that was budgeted for new equipment, so it was an opportunity to go ahead and get them.”
While only up and running for a few months, the buses are on track to displace over 140 gallons of diesel per week! And that shrinking carbon footprint will soon grow even smaller as the district has ordered 30 addit...

I'm stepping out an open door. Sometimes, I wish was locked. Across the hall another's shut The peephole's all I've got You've been warned. I'm sure it's true. I'm so new to love. Just hold on. I want you standing on my shoes with a peruse-like touch through Baton Rouge I'm scared to death to even move. To move. Green strobes still flickering in my head. I cling to everything you said. I finally found your hand But there's only time for you to walk me out. We'll pray to God and brush our tracks
