Where are they now?
Did some private equity snatch them up?
The family sold back in 2019 I think. HQ is now in Virginia, and owned by a Boston PE firm.

How did Southern Marsh make this? 
That’s not even in the top 10,000 for Louisiana

Well, expect it to be crap within a decade then, maybe sooner.

It shows facebook in Mass., and Meta in CA. Not fair to count them twice.

This map has Delta in Georgia, didn't it start in Monroe?
It actually started in Greenville as a crop dusting service I believe

I mean Canes and Smoothie King are too very recognizable brands missing for Louisiana.

Macon, Georgia in 1925 then shortly thereafter moved to Funroe. I'm like you, though. I thought it started in Monroe; I would have lost that bet.

Delta's origins can be traced to an agricultural and aviation effort that came together in the early 1920s to find a solution to the boll weevil infestation that was destroying cotton crops. Entomologist B. R. Coad led a team of researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's field laboratory in Tallulah, Louisiana, and with loaned Army pilots and aircraft developed improvements that determined "dusting" of insecticide powder from the air would be the most effective form of treatment.[21] Working with Coad, an aircraft manufacturing company (Huff-Daland Aero Corporation) built the world's first airplane designed for crop-dusting and formed a subsidiary, Huff Daland Dusters Inc., to market and operate that new service.[22] It was founded on 2 March 1925, in Macon, Georgia, and became the world's first aerial crop dusting company.[3] The company moved to Monroe, Louisiana, in summer 1925. C.E.Woolman left his position with Louisiana State University's Agricultural Extension Dept and in the off-season traveled with the company to Peru, where they helped to establish crop-dusting and passenger services. With this experience, Woolman returned to the United States and in 1928, he led a group of local investors to acquire Huff Daland Dusters assets.

This isn’t a state of origin map,
It literally says it is at the top but I agree that the map is just showing headquarter on some companies. At&t is listed in Texas but was formed in New York
