German Coast

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The German Coast (French: C te des Allemands) was a region of early Louisiana settlement located above New Orleans on the Mississippi River - specifically, from east to west, in St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. James parishes of present-day Acadiana. The four settlements along the coast were Karlstein, Hoffen, Meriental, and Augsburg. Originally, the Germans settled at the Arkansas Post, however the conditions were intolerable. The area's name was derived from the large population of German pioneers who were settled there in 1721 by John Law and the Company of the Indies. When the company folded in 1731, the Germans became independent land-owners.
