Which is funny, because the apartments and crappy neighborhood that are across the street from the St. George Fire station on perkins aren't apart of the proposed St. George district.

I liked the name after I got some context from the FAQ of the St George website:

quote:

In order to properly draft the petition seeking to form the new city, it must have a name. Our organizing committee considered a number of possibilities - the final three were St. George, Highland and New Richmond. Highland was a name with some support, but since most of the new city will not be located near Highland Road, we felt it missed the mark. And while New Richmond has some historical significance—it was off the mark as well.

St. George bears great historical significance to the southern part of East Baton Rouge Parish. Over 100 years ago, the original St. George Parish included virtually all of the of the proposed incorporated area. In fact, St. George Parish was one of two parishes in what is now East Baton Rouge Parish.

Why because the remaining Rouge portion is communist?
