Saint John the Baptist Parish is located in southeast Louisiana, in the United States. It was founded in 1807 and has a rich history deeply rooted in cultural and religious traditions. The parish is a part of the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner Metropolitan Statistical Area and is situated along the Mississippi River, approximately halfway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

The area was initially inhabited by indigenous peoples, and later explored by the French, Spanish, and German colonizers. The Europeans began settling in the region during the 1700s, with the first official establishment by the French in 1721, known as the German Coast (La Cte des Allemands). Due to the fertile land, the area flourished with agriculture, primarily focused on sugar cane and indigo.

Saint John the Baptist Parish got its name from the San Juan del Pueblo mission, a Catholic church erected in the area by the French in the early 18th century. The parish seat is Edgard, which was named after Edgar P. Benjamin, a Massachusetts philanthropist who donated money for the construction of the courthouse.

A fun fact about Saint John the Baptist Parish is that it is home to the famous (or infamous) Oak Alley Plantation, which was built in 1839. The plantation is known for its beautiful and haunting alley of 300-year-old oak trees that line the driveway and lead up to the antebellum mansion. The plantation is a popular tourist destination today and has been featured in several films and TV shows, including "Interview with the Vampire" and "Midnight Bayou."
