Ascension Parish is located in the southeastern part of the great state of Louisiana. Established on April 12, 1807, it was one of the twenty-two parishes formed during the territorial period shortly after the Louisiana Purchase by the United States in 1803. Named after the Spanish mission, La Iglesia de la Ascensin de Nuestro Seor Jesucristo de Lafourche de los Chetimaches, which was established in the late 1700s by Capuchin monks, the Parish's name reflects the strong Spanish influence in the region. The parish seat is Donaldsonville, which served as the Louisiana state capital for a brief period from 1830 to 1831.
Situated between the Mississippi River and Lake Maurepas, Ascension Parish played a significant role in the sugar cane and plantation agriculture industries. Several historic plantations, including the well-preserved Houmas House and Bocage, showcase the region's architectural and cultural history.
A fun fact about Ascension Parish: The historic city of Gonzales is known as the "Jambalaya Capital of the World," thanks to the town's annual Jambalaya Festival, which began in 1967. The festival highlights the region's strong cultural ties to the lively Cajun and Creole food scene, featuring jambalaya, a popular rice dish with meat, vegetables, and spices, originally brought to the area by Spanish settlers.
