I didn't Google the dates but I'm 41 and when I was a kid those areas were undeveloped. The whole St George thing exists because these areas were too rural or suburban to matter to the city. Old Hammond at Millerville is south of the city limits but you say that Coursey or South Sherwood isn't in SBR?
The dividing line of NBR and SBR is Florida Blvd. That's why a lot of the streets (Foster, Acadian, Sherwood, Flannery) change names when crossing over it. It doesn't mean that SBR doesn't have some shitholes in it. That was pretty much my original point.

I always used I-10 as the separator between North and South BR.

Just a minor technicality. North Blvd. and a line that continues eastward once North ends is the North/South line for address purposes. The "center point" of EBR is North blvd at the River. So address numbers get larger as they move eastward from this point and north or south from this point as well.

I never really spent much time in the Old Jefferson area, but when I was a kid in the very early 90's, we got a house in the Jefferson Highway/Bluebonnet area, and within a few months of moving there Jefferson Highway was widened to 5 lanes. Before I was driving age, they rerouted Bluebonnet out of the neighborhood and drilled through to connect it with Coursey.
The Bluebonnet corridor was very well developed in the 90's.
And as for this, the St. George movement exists because property owners are tired of propping up one of the worst public school districts in the country. The city didn't care about these areas until these areas threatened to break away, hence why Baton Rouge incorporated more areas in the past 2 years than they have in the past 2 decades.
