With the issuance of the Louisiana Statehood (Forever®) stamp, the U.S. Postal Service celebrates the bicentennial of the “Pelican State”. Known for its vibrant music, authentic cuisine, and dynamic mingling of cultures, Louisiana became the 18th state in the Union on April 30, 1812.
The flags of France, Spain, and Great Britain all flew over present-day Louisiana before it became U.S. soil. President Thomas Jefferson bought most of the land from Napoleon Bonaparte as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. In 1804 Congress created the Territory of Orleans, setting the approximate boundaries of the state of Louisiana, formed just eight years later.
Visitors flock to New Orleans each year to celebrate Mardi Gras, a holiday brought to Louisiana by French Catholics. The city's first Mardi Gras parade took to the streets in 1837. Besides tourism, other major industries in the state include petroleum, natural gas, tree farming, and soybeans.
