Sieur d&#39;Iberville on March 17, 1699.  As he ascended the lower Mississippi <br/>
River, he noted a 30-foot tall cypress pole, red in color, with the heads of <br/>
fishes and bears hanging from it.  It marked the limit between the ranges of the <br/>
Bayagoulas and Oumas Indians.  He named the place &quot;le Baton Rouge.&quot;<br/>
