If you are from Louisiana or consider yourself a Louisianan transplant, it’s no secret that this state is full of fun, hidden facts and an abundant amount of culture. Which is why it was fun to come across this article that gives us 50 facts about Louisiana that you may or may not know. Some of the facts are well known if you have lived here long enough like Breaux Bridge, LA being the “Crawfish Capital of the World” or the fact that there are almost half as many alligators as there are people BUT some of the truths that were a little more surpassing to us were things like “The first bottler of Coca-Cola, Joseph Biedenharn, lived in Monroe, where he purchased a small bottling plant to produce the drink” or “Louisiana’s waters are home to 117,518 oyster reefs.”
