Baton Rouge is French for "Red Stick." In 1699, French explorer Iberville was traveling up the Mississippi River and saw a bloodied, red pole on the shore. The "red stick" was marking the boundaries between hunting grounds of two Native American tribes. He named the location le bâton rouge, or the red stick.

It was named for Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, who was Regent of the Kingdom of France at the time. His title came from the French city of Orléans. The French colony of Louisiana was ceded to the Spanish Empire in the 1763 Treaty of Paris, following France's defeat by Great Britain in the Seven Years' War.

My childhood town name was my mother's maiden name. The family owned the land on which numerous family members built homes. The streets were named after my grandmother and her sisters. When I rode the school bus, every student on the bus was a cousin. After the neighboring community established a post office and the mail went there, our town gradually became known as part of the neighboring community.

It was named University Place to entice the University of Puget Sound to locate here who then set up shop somewhere else. Now the name makes no sense. We don't even have a community college.

I have no idea where Saint Amant came from. I’m sure someone had the last name of Saint Amant when they discovered the place. Also is Saint always pronounced San, as opposed to St being pronounced Saint, or did they only do that with the town of Saint Amant to frick with people? Majority of people can’t pronounce Saint Amant correctly
