Excerpt: ]Common name: The Baton Rouge Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the United States Census Bureau, is a sprawling area consisting of nine parishes in Louisiana, anchored by the city of Baton Rouge. As of the 2000 census, the MSA had a population of 705, 973 (though a July 1, 2009 estimate placed the population at 786, 947). Comprising the northeastern portion of Acadiana and the western edge of the Florida Parishes regions, it is known as "Plantation Country", the "Capital Region", and "The 225" (a reference to its area code). Baton Rouge is unique because it has no major incorporated satellite cities, a rarity for a metropolitan area of its size. The Baton Rouge metropolitan area was first defined in 1950. Then known as the Baton Rouge Standard Metropolitan Area (or Baton Rouge SMA), it consisted of a single parish East Baton Rouge and had a population of 158, 236. Following a term change by the Bureau of the Budget (present-day Office of Management and Budget) in 1959, the Baton Rouge SMA became the Baton Rouge Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (or Baton Rouge SMSA). By the census of 1960, the population had grown to 230, 058, a 45% increase over the previous census. A total of 285, 167 people lived in East Baton Rouge Parish in 1970. Three additional parishes were added to the Baton Rouge SMSA in 1973 Ascension, Livingston, and West Baton Rouge. These four parishes had a combined population of 375, 628 in 1970. The area grew rapidly during the 1970s and by the 1980 census, the population had increased 32% to 494, 151. In 1983, the official name was shortened to the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Statistical Area (or Baton Rouge MSA), which is still in use to date. 528...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3721400
